I've seen this recommendation before and I find it so interesting because I know it wouldn't work for me personally. I am not a re-reader generally, and the thought of re-reading something (even something I know I liked) when in a mood like that makes me feel so bored and impatient.

This made me think of something: where it does tend to be mostly a constant din, have the din start annoying, then the character eventually acclimates to it to an extent. Then, for some reason, there's a break in the sound, and the character gets the sweet relief of silence, forgetting how nice that feels. Then as soon as they get used to peace and quiet--it starts up again.
