Personally I have noticed that the limited times I entered the zone happened after midnight, which can become quite unhealthy if you get used to it, that is to work night owl hours.
I guess it has to do with how quiet and serene that time you can become, which helps you jump straight in the zone without even realizing it.
Should we call it "the vortex of absorption", LOL?! :D
I have tried it from 3am until 11am and have noticed the noise starts from 4:30am and afterwards...
Seems like a lot of people where I live start their work from this hour; I presume they are either merchandisers that deliver milk to the nearest supermarkets or lorries that need to get delivered before the morning heavy traffic that schools cause on a daily basis.
I guess in my case, the combination of low lights at night, near complete silence all over the place, and hearing crickets outside the window during my coding hours, it helps immensely to get absorbed by the mystic call of zoning lol!
