Not all noise is the same. White noise is easy to ignore but hearing half a conversation will stress out almost anyone.

That's just how the brain is. A lot of city noise doesn't register as important (and it isn't), but overhearing half a conversation or random snippets of YouTube is annoying on a pretty deep level.
