I'm not really bothered by ambient noise when reading. Perhaps the following quotes attributed to Genghis Khan might be useful to others?

“The greatest happiness is to scatter your enemy, to drive him before you, to see his cities reduced to ashes, to see those who love him shrouded in tears, and to gather into your bosom his wives and daughters.”

"The pleasure and joy of man lies in treading down the rebel and conquering the enemy, in tearing him up by the root, in taking from him all that he has."

"I am the Flail of God. If you had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon You." , said during his campaign in Persia.

"Conquering the world on horseback is easy; it is dismounting and governing that is hard."
