I feel like I'm over-sensitive to sounds and noises. I can hear someone's Facebook message ding over my noise-canceling headphones while listening to music, and it bugs me. Not sure how I get affected productivity-wise, but I am definitely more prone to lashing out at people or sending angry emails when there are too many of these things. Also, if you have your sound turn on, are in an open-space office, you keep messaging someone and your messenger keeps making loud sounds, that's incredibly rude and I think very poorly of you.

The sound notification definitely compounds on the distraction. Not only is there the jarring sound or ringtone but the brain's knee jerk reaction of hatred for lack of respect of others around them. I've grown to hate the door knocking sound that Samsung uses. Oddly when a phone is vibrating, even if left on a solid surface, I don't find it nearly as distracting.
