<human>:  How do I best block out noise when I'm trying to work?
<bot>: The best way to block out noise when you're trying to work is to use noise-cancelling headphones or earplugs to eliminate distracting sounds. You can also try using soundproofing materials like foam panels to absorb sound in the environment or create a “white noise” to mask any other outside noises. Additionally, consider setting up a separate workspace with a door that can be closed to help block out any unwanted sounds.
