What you're describing has nothing to do with WFH and everything to do with where you've chosen to live. I experienced all of your complaints (and then some) at the CoreOS office when we were @ The Mission district in SF. It sounded like the city was burning down every other day with how often we had fire trucks blaring past the windows. The chaos outside combined with our "open office" packing us in like sardines made for my least productive workplace experience ever. My way of dealing with it was working from unpopular cafes on the coast overlooking the Pacific, or just working from home most of the week which was a dead silent cabin residing practically within Butano State Park.
