The "why" is that she pays attention to the noise which is a tangible, explanable distraction, but the decline in her position is not explanable -- at least, not to the character. In fact, it's the music and sound which is only thing grounding the character, everything else is up in the air. I still think the story is brilliant, especially if viewed in the context of something like Kevin Spacey, in which he was cancelled even before all the facts became known: this story could've only been told with a woman at the center of it.
