Cut background noise & boost concentration with these 3 tips: 1) Use a rubber mat under your keyboard/mouse to dampen clatter. 2) Switch to a silent mechanical keyboard (e.g., K-type switches). 3) Place a small draft stopper at the door to block hallway sound. Bonus: Add acoustic foam panels behind your monitor—cuts echo without ruining aesthetics. Works even in tiny apartments.
