Introverts find it hard to concentrate and feel tired in a noisy environment, especially when mentally trying to calculate something.People cannot switch off their brains to external noise, unable to focus on work. Office sounds that are similar to their own work will further annoy or confuse them.

Some individuals like a certain office ambient noise, even music, as it makes them concentrate more, or provides a distraction, which is also needed.Others have an extreme aversion, a sort of panic attack to distracting sounds, which is called Misophonia.
