Yeah, I find I'm so easily distracted too, even by music. And conversation is the worst. I've found a lot of ambient stuff to listen to, though, which does wonders for drowning out distractions. If @donnadavisart is watching TV and I don't want to be a douche and tell her to wear headphones, I'll listen to Tim Hecker or Ben Frost, or something like Philip Glass or Steve Reich. The same if I'm on the train and folks aren't observing the traditions of the "Quiet Car."
I love the background noise of the train though, as long as people aren't talking. I've thought of recording it to play at home as another form of ambient music.
I tried out the Discord web-site when I was new here. It's... slightly less invasive. I only got into all the issues with the App when the wife went and installed it.
