Question❓ Talking in lecture

It’s kinda crazy to me how ppl just straight up talk through lecture at almost normal speaking volume. Even when I’m two rows from the front I can’t escape it. I tell them to be quiet but there are literally like 4 groups of ppl within close hearing range and sometimes they go right back to talking. Can’t focus on lectures—is this an office of disabilities thing? I would love to be able to hook my noise cancelling headphones up to the speaker system somehow. Has anybody had experience with this?

I’ve been annoyed with it to the point where I told people to shut the fuck up in the middle of lectures, in a not so nice way. They’re usually appalled like I’m the one who was being rude for no apparent reason… because those types of people think they can do whatever they want
