Yeh, background noise often causes problems. I always have music going but I leave the volume fairly low for two reasons: 1) loud music makes it more difficult for the software to understand what I'm saying and 2) sudden loud bursts will make the voice program freeze. Its a pain in the ass because I always have heavy metal going and sometimes the screaming will freeze me up. Sounds funny but its true.

The other morning a couple college kids were riding around in one of those gas powered scooters for a couple hours. Those things are loud. I couldn't get anything done, haha.

I'm trying to find some really good headphones that don't let music escape so I can blast the volume without interfering with the microphone. If anybody knows of something, feel free to post a link.
