hum yourself and make it annoying but dont make it obvious that you are doing it on purpose. then after a few days stop. then everytime they start to hum, hum again. How do you get coworkers to not hum or sing along with the music at work?
either join them, or bring earplugs.
turn the music off,or play ministry.
Turn the music off or put something on that they don't like!
This is a very good question with no correct answer. You could ask them not to sing along but that would result in you alienating yourself from your colleagues.



Here are some alternative options for you:



1. Sing along to music yourself, except more loudly and obnoxiously then they do. Perhaps intentionally muddle the lyrics up. This might provoke them into realizing how horrible it is to listen to someone do the same.



2. Claim that you're parents were musicians and that you have a hyper sensitive musical ear so that when you hear someone singing, or tapping near by, you're automatically disturbed and have to listen to it so that it's actually a distraction to you that severely cuts back on your functionality at work.



3. Change your radio station to classical or atmospheric stations, creating a hum-free environment.



4. When they hum, always politely get up and shut off the radio claiming your head hurts. If you repeat this enough times, they'll catch on.



5. Turn off the music completely.



Good luck!
You wouldn't like to work with me as I love singing and humming along to music and have been known to dance too! It makes me feel good and sound happy in my work!
shut off the music.
Just politely say, ';Could you please not do that?';
Find a job in an oppressive environment where people aren't allowed to have fun or be themselves, or else get a pair of earplugs.
I think a lot of people do this without even realizing it. Just say, ';excuse me, could you not do that, it's distracting.';
why should this be such a big deal.



if you don' like working around people, find a job where you are left on your own. granted it can be annoying when someone sings constantly or hums.. my co-worker did all the time and there was no music around.. but you need to realize that you are in a public work environment and share space with other people
ask, ';Who sings this song?'; When they answer, say, ';Let's keep it that way.';
