Hi ~ I can relate to what you're describing. I have 'suffered' with this ALOT in my past, and like you said, it was enough to drive me crazy. No matter how hard i tried to stop it, I kept doing it anyway.  The "noise" in my head was overwhelming !!
Then I thought of something that might help. You have to be able to 'visualize' -- it's kind of a trick.
What i did was visualize a clear plastic "wall" -- when the "noise" in my head got too loud, I would also "visualize" a little button that I could push and make that clear plastic wall go up between me and the noise. I could still "see" the person(s) talking, but I couldn't hear them anymore. Once the noise quieted down, I pushed the button again, to let the wall go back down. Then if it started again, I'd just repeat the process until the "noise" in my head stopped. And it HAS stopped, ALMOST entirely!!! I told my shrink about this, and he thought it was a great idea --- so I guess I'm not totally nuts. LOL
Just thought i'd pass this on. Maybe it will help, and maybe it won't. It's worth a try tho -- I had to do it for quite awhile before the noise stopped. Best of luck & God bless!!! Take care & keep us posted. Hugs, Lee
