Headphones might be too much but just wear Loops if you have them, if you get written up for it than that’s when you can fight it and bring up the fact that the noise is preventing you (and others, if you talk with any of your coworkers and they relate) from getting other tasks done. If it seems like you are being singled out, ask why that might be - and question if this is creating a hostile work environment for you. For the most part, it’s a “rule” that most won’t notice or care abt.
