  Hey,
  
  Great question . As with everything, moderation is the most important. A bit of stress like from a few other people making noise is probably good to motivate your atetntional resources to focus. But from that “sweet spot” you can very easily turn to a state when you cannot any longer focus because too many pepole are talking too much.
