Long term, communalist view: activism to reduce noise pollution for everyone. Leaf blowers, unmuffled engines, car and airplane traffic in general; I am bothered by these things, too, and I'm guessing all this noise we generate bothers other animals as well. Reducing or even just slowing ship traffic would help cetaceans hunt, communicate, and, presumably, get enough sleep. Short term, selfish view: double-pane windows, air conditioning since your windows will be closed, wall hangings for soundproofing- make your office a recording studio and that might help.
