How do you stay focused during a game

I normally just play chess as a hobby after school. But recently where I play chess its been getting really loud and its kind of messing up my thought process. Any tips for how to tune out the noise?

Hi! My name is Lauren Goodkind and I’m a chess coach and chess book author based in California: www.ChessByLauren.com. 

   Maybe you can play with noise-cancelling headphones? Or find a place where it's quiet and not distracting?  

   I hope that this helps.  

That was pretty crappy advice and a poor attempt to advertise your services.

I thought noise cancelling head phones was a very good idea. It's the sort of advice that might not have occurred to the OP (didnt occur to me) so is worth posting. If the OP is young (school) so lacks control of their environment or where they can play, then why not headphones if parents can be persuaded or pocket money will stretch?
