Yeah, I get this a lot. It's part of racing thoughts. I call them looping thoughts instead of noise. I have a couple of types of looping thoughts and one is like the songs that get stuck in your head, which I think is a normal thing really for most people. Although, you know, getting 5 or 6 songs or snips of conversations or whatever stuck is pretty normal for me. And, yes, the looping thoughts disrupt reading for me, more often than not these days. They break my thought process and I can't focus on anything.

But then, I get the obsessive looping thoughts. These are the ones that are big problem because I can't get anything done except focus on these racing obsessive thoughts. They can last for a long time. I've had them last for months.
