Dear me of about seven years ago: no, the random repetitive noises don’t stop. Enjoy your noise-cancelling headphones, and also maybe go take the RAADS-R test while I have you on the line. Toodles!

TRANSCRIPT

Panel 1 (no dialogue; Momo bounces a ball against a wall with a repetitive PONG noise)

Panel 2 (also no dialogue; Genji (cat) and Juno (dog) watch the ball bounce past their heads. Lindsay is in the background, behind the PONG SFX)

Panel 3 (Lindsay turns around in their chair)
Lindsay: Hey, can you knock it off? Two anxious animals live here.

Panel 4 (Lindsay, close up, anxious-looking)
Lindsay: …and also a dog and a cat.
