I think maybe you should let it rest. See what the next few weeks feels like and if you can pull yourself back inside the room instead of being half outside, listening and watching for other clients. If you can't, then bring it up again.
Your therapists may just be a bit lower on creativity right now and thinking "I've got bigger problems than this to contend with." I don't mean to sugget that this isn't super important - privacy is really high on my list, but she doesn't seem to have the capacity to change anything right now. You've been seeing your therapist a long time, so how would she feel if YOU bought a white noise machine? They aren't that expensive and it might be a way to take charge of this - especially if she sees it as your problem. I might present it with, "*I* need this to feel safe in here, please don't be offended." Or something like that.
I hope this gets resolved soon. The therapy space is hugely important but it should be background to your healing, not itself an issue.
