Good question, In major tournaments they probably wouldn't want to and just pay attention to the ingame sounds but I wouldn't be surprised if they were allowed to.

I am quite sure Incontrol has said he listens to music during tournaments in SotG, he also has iPod earphones in quite often from what I can tell.

It always blows my mind just how hard it is to create silence. There was an article recently -- I think in the Times? -- about a guy who went on a quest to find perfect silence, and it's nearly impossible. If you want to prevent yourself from seeing something, hanging a sheet of opaque cloth between you and it pretty much does the job, but making it so you can't hear someone requires a seven-layer system of sound dampening and interference generation, and I'll bet you at least a little of the outside noise is still getting through to the players.

It's there to prevent "Tahts halo" moments..

and I don't think allowing personal music is ok, as there could be individuals playing tracks with sounds in certain periods reminding them of macro etc..

What you hear in this clip though, is not really white noise, as the terrible mp3-quality of this youtube video ruins alot of frequenzies. That's why the clip sounds a bit like waves, and not like static noise.
