While piecing I'm upstairs and either have rock on the radio--or can hear my husband watching tv downstairs (loudly)!
While on the long arm, I usually load up the CD player with rock, blues and 80's-90's country but sometimes have re-runs on the tv that I've seen a gillion times (Law and Order, Bones, Criminal Minds, Ncis)--but usually music cause it loosens me up and provides rythym to quilt by.
