Is that what it's called when other noise makes you not understand what people are saying?

Pretty much. The inability to filter voices from other noises. Not fun when you are on a bus and the engine is the only thing you can make out

And why I avoid noisy bars and stuff. I noticed once during the fire drill at work, we were all standing outside and the loud alarm was beeping like a truck backing up and the whole time I couldn't make out what people were saying. I could hear the noises coming from their mouths, but couldn't understand a thing.

Alarm stopped and I could understand them fine.
