These Remote Jobs Don’t Mind Background Noise
A very common question that I see asked a lot in the many social media groups that I’m in is “Are there any work from home jobs that don’t require you to have a quiet work area?”
These questions usually come from moms needing a remote job, but don’t have anyone to watch their kids.
The majority of remote jobs out there are some type of phone job and most companies will require that you have a quiet, distraction-free work area. If fact, any type of background noise can be a reason for termination.
Even some companies that hire remote chat agents will usually require you to have a quiet work area.
If you’re a stay-at-home parent needing a remote job, it can be tough trying to find something that doesn’t require absolute silence.
Luckily though, there are a few jobs that can be done without complete silence.
With these jobs, you won’t need to have a quiet place to work, but you’ll still need to have a desktop or laptop computer, high-speed internet service, and in some cases, at least a cell phone.

Things to Keep in Mind
Please keep in mind that some of these, such as the telephone mystery shopping positions, are really more of a way to earn some supplemental cash and not meant to be an actual full-time income. For that reason, I suggest that you sign up for several at once, depending on how much you want to earn and how much time you have to invest.
