A funny meme about sensory input!
It’s called turning down distractions. That’s totally normal AFAIK.
I do not know, why they mock this. I literately make the same move when i read something. Its called concentrating and focusing.

It probably replaces random, potentially distracting background noises, with something well known and predictable, thus not as distracting.
Can you focus while listening to music you never heard before?
It drowns out the voices in my head so they stopped distracting me with their ramblings.
Better have a single external source I can filter out instead of multiple internal I can"t.
Sometimes my brain is just at peak capacity trying to decipher a situation and turning down whatever i’m listening to will free up some mental processing to better understand XD
Cognitive load is a thing. I do that sometimes.
