The writing mistake demonstrated in the sentence below is a "sentence fragment." Specifically, it's an adverbial clause fragment. The second sentence, "Especially when I can hear people talking," cannot stand alone as a complete sentence because it lacks a subject and a verb; it's a dependent clause that is meant to provide additional information to the main clause.
