Right now I am kind of pleased to hear a vacuum a foot away, because it is blocking out the annoying sound of someone who leaves work computer volume up, so I can hear an alert for every new email and every new chat message. We abuse the reply to all feature at work (I know…), so these sounds are about to drive me to insanity/to drink since there’s about one every 30 seconds. 

I think this is Pavlov’s dog of the 2012 workplace. Computer sounds = immediate feeling of rage and need for booze or uppers, rather than salivation over prospect of food.
