I use bose in-ear noise cancelling headphones with a custom spectrum of noise from mynoise.net playing which is specifically tuned to the same frequency as certain louder individuals in my office. Completely blocks it.

Another vote for mynoise.net and the Android app. I haven't tried it with noise-cancelling headphones though, just some fairly good Sennheiser HD380s.

Also, the idea of you fine tuning certain individuals out is hilarious to me. Nice job on saving your sanity!

I somehow misread your post as saying you had "in-ear, bone conduction" noise cancelling headphones. What a sight those would be.

I love that you tailored the noise to actual people's voices! Play track Greg from Accounting...

I really need to know, do these individuals know that they've been IRL-killfiled?

Well none of them are/were Usenet users, so no, but yes I did inform the two most predominate offenders specifically so they know they have to get my attention in other ways when addressing me directly.

"Killfile" was still being used by mailing list users, at least ten years or so ago
