The husband complains about his car alarm going off outside while at work and complains about being too loud. The wife suggests trying noise-cancelling headphones and finding solutions, suggesting finding solutions and learning to let things go.

I can't concentrate when there's too much noise. It drives me crazy.

I know, but sometimes there's just not much we can do about it.
human
I wish people would be more considerate. I mean, does the whole neighborhood really need to hear their music blasting at 2 a.m.?
gpt
Remember when we went to that concert a few years ago, and you were complaining about how loud it was?
human
Yeah, but that was different. That was intentional. I knew what I was getting into when I bought the ticket. But when I'm at home trying to read or work, and someone's car alarm keeps going off outside, it's just frustrating.
gpt
I get it. But maybe there are some things we can do to help you focus. Have you tried noise-cancelling headphones?
human
I have, but they don't completely block out all the noise. And sometimes I need to be able to hear what's going on around me.
gpt
What about going to a library or a quiet coffee shop to work?
human
That's a good idea. I'll have to try that. Or maybe I just need to learn to let things go and not get so worked up about it.
gpt
That could be helpful too. At least you recognize that it's a problem and you're trying to find solutions.
human
Thanks. I just wish there was an easy fix. I hate feeling like I'm always on edge because of noise.
