I work remote and regularly work from coffee shops where the noise level is high. I find I am quite able to block out the noise/distractions fine in that environment. I also go into the office occasionally (which is an open layout) and my productivity plummets. Less so because of the noise, but more so because the conversations being had around me have some relevance to me. And if I can help clarify something than I will interject. But the problem for me isn't noise, it is relevant noise where I subconsciously listen for something useful. Also with that you have people coming up to your and asking questions, because there is no indicator of "I'm busy right now" like a closed door in an office.
