Next time you talk to him, suggest that he pick up some of those over the ear noise cancelling headphones. You don't even have to have them turned on, but the size of them makes taking them off such a visible hassle that it seems to discourage a lot of those kinds of people. And the rest you can ignore and pretend that you couldn't hear them because you had the noise cancelling on.

I already sent him one message this week!

Seriously though, this whole thing has me curious about the current state of things so I shot him a message asking about it. I'll pass it along if he still needs the advice.
