Can I disturb a colleague while he/she had headphone on?

Friends,

I disturbed my colleague today while she is listening something with headphones on. She responded to my question but I can see her face feelings (not smiley) and also while talking to me she tapped her computer keyboard very hard.

I was working on very high priority assignment so instead of emailing her.

I felt bad because of this incident and this question came up in my mind "Can I disturb a colleague while he/she had headphone on?"

Yes. You did the right thing. Work comes first. You could have gotten in trouble for not interrupting her.

Next time announce your presence by waving something as you approach. Like you are fanning the air so she can feel that you are coming near.
