The answer is habituation.

Explanation:

Habituation refers to a decrease in response to a stimulus after many repetitions. The more frequent the stimulus, the faster the habituation becomes.

Habituation also occurs to adults. For example, a distracting clock sound in an office may be annoying at first, but after a few hours it will be barely noticeable.
