Remember when the most annoying thing about your workplace was a loud-typing coworker two cubicles down? Ah, simpler times.

From bored kids and stir-crazy pets to chatty roommates and clanging construction sites, anyone who’s fortunate enough to still be working, and doing so from home, is probably dealing with myriad distractions. Trying to focus and get shit done amid a global pandemic is hard enough even without some sort of commotion going on; a noisy environment can be a total productivity killer.
