At Gunpoint

I find noisy people unbearable.
I'm a messy person when I'm working on a a project; the things around are there for a purpose which remind me of the bits as they are sewn together in a story, or idea.
Also, messes can be controlled. You can tuck them under the bed, bolt them away in the cupboard; what is out of sight can be out of mind.
But how do you shut off the noise? Gunpoint!
