Some ideas for you:
- Note the times of day (ultradian-style) when you can best work in this environment. Use objective metrics where possible. Most effective emails sent during these hours, best code written during these others.
- Consider the above a zone of reconciliation with the environment--something about you has accepted the environment for its current state and allowed work to happen
- For the rest of the time, change things up, take more breaks if needed, schedule time away, put on the extra-heavy noise cancelling headphones, cover your sightlines temporarily, etc. Protect your dopamine reception.
- Big picture: Keep promoting the idea (within your teams at work and with leadership) that a truly creative and professional environment should accommodate different environmental preferences to the benefit of all. Find people who think like you do. Recognize leadership who need very specific change proposals vs. those who just need the gist. Make it a point of negotiation if possible in an upbeat way.
Sorry it's a pain and good luck.
