Generally any noise around me (I cannot afford noise cancelling headphones alas).
Slack and email notifications which are often critical to respond to timeously.
My pet and my landlords pets can also be very distracting if I am working at home.
Spaghetti code where you have to follow the trail through multiple functions before you can even begin to make changes.

Noise-cancelling headphones aren't actually very good at that kind of noise, only for general background hum etc.
I find that listening to white or brown noise, along with music, helps.
