Why? What's wrong with AWS? I'm interviewing with them at the moment ...

You and probably 10,000 others are interviewing currently.
They interview thousands of people because they people constantly quitting. Average person lasts year-18 months.
If you make it to the onsite interviews its 5 or 6 in a row, where the people ask the same cult-like questions and follow up questions.

So in other words should be easy for me to get in 
Still, can't be much worse than being an underpaid, overworked code monkey in a softward dev house / app sweatshop. Two previous co-workers ended up there and they're enjoying it. Since they're as pedantic as I am, if not more, this bodes well I think  I hope, anyway.

Electrons toiling away in their silicon prison cells. Their tortured cries could break you heart... I find it so hard to remain positive with them around.

They really should learn to conduct themselves in a more professional manner.

Well, that's because electrons are always so negative!

Silence, mostly.
Or the screams of the damned. They are like music to me.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I agree. Silence.
Although sometimes I turn on some white noise.
Can't have music or talking. Very distracting.
Always worked in an office. The one job I got a cubicle after being promised an office.
I could not function. I left within 3 months. I could not focus.

I prefer silence, but alas! The correct answer is: My colleague yapping on the phone!

Music. Generally rock or metal. Podcasts/etc are right out because what I need is background noise; an actual discussion about something would pull my mind off of my work.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Well - for a fixed genre, I'd say seriously blue blues. Stuff where you know the guitar just squeezes like clay to make those sounds.
On the other hand, bits of Workingman's Dead and American Beauty can really make the world feel good, too.
And - in my current environment, I can have speakers instead of earphones. That, alone is a major plus.
On the other hand, I'm currently listening to "My Fair Lady".

Silence mostly as there seems to be an uncanny connection between listening to music and incoming phone calls. How do they know??? 
When I do listen to music though, it's always prog rock/metal...currently enjoying the latest album by Spock's Beard.
