Grammar my dear!
You're no longer talking, but writing.

their: ownership. It is their book.
there: indicates location (etc), Over there, not here.
they're: short for they are.

In the short text, you have nice examples of all three:
  1. Their work requires them to travel every couple of months,... OK
  2. ..., so their was loud music playing... NOT OK, should be there.
  3. “Fuck their loud” NOT OK, should be “Fuck. They're loud”
See Merriam-Webster
