As someone also rather sensitive to sound, I highly recommend Bose noise canceling headphones. It is the perfect socially frictionless solution to loud office environments.
- mgkimsal 15y agoA) it's expensive B) doesn't work all that well all the time to block out any passing road/truck noise What's working nearly as well for me (I've tried the bose headphones - not comfortable for long stretches for me) is $5 in-ear earbuds running whitenoise, sometimes with classical music overlaid.
- r00fus 15y agoDunno about you, but as someone who's highly sensitive to sound as well, I found my Sony noise cancelling headphones made everyone elses sounds crystal clear - with the HVAC and desktop whirring cancelled, I could eavesdrop up to 4 cubes away. I think noise-isolating earbuds or headphones are what you want. Just completely block out external sound, listen to nature/bird chirps or your favorite music.
- mgkimsal 15y agoExactly - it was odd, but most of the noise cancelling headphones I've used do just that - they cancel some noise, which makes other stuff all the more noticeable. Blasting whitenoise in to my ears does the opposite, but muffles most minor noises.
