Nobody likes loud construction noise, but if you are in the middle of a noisy mess, here are a few tips for staying sane and not pulling your hair out.

 

Music: keep calming instrumental music on in the background to give your brain something other than the loud noise to concentrate on. Your brain is adept and blocking out certain noises.

 

Create a calm room: find a room in your apartment that is furthest away from the sound and create calm room. Hang fabrics to absorb the outside sound and rearrange your living room furniture to stop the sound before it even reaches the room.

 

Talk to your manager: If all else fails ask your manager. Every city has certain rules and regulations about doing construction work, so ask you manager to make sure the crew is doing everything up to code.
