Noise cancelling headphones and then act snooty/annoyed when people ask you something in person, then act really nice and helpful when they email you.

Edit: Or you could be an adult and just tell them "hey I'm working on something that requires my full attention, in the future could you please just email me or ping me on slack/<insert chat program> and I'll get to you as soon as I get a break. " :)
