Do you play the sims with volume off? Or listen to shows, podcasts or music while playing?

I was really surprised the first time i learned that some players like to have volume off while playing sims. But now I like to listen to other stuff while I play the game. I dont usually turn the sound off completely unless Im in build mode or CAS.

But, I do like to turn the volume really low and listen to some true crime or horror fiction while i play.
