I have been working with a company for a little over 3 months. I have observed the culture and the company has a moderately high turnover and people that leave unceremoniously with no notice. 1 person didn’t even let the company know that they quit but just never showed back to work.…

Don't get involved in it. If gossiping starts, especially if one person says something negative about someone not in the room, say "it sounds like you should talk it over with him/her to find a solution or see if there was a misunderstanding." If someone tries to gossip that so-and-so just got divorced or is a recovering alcoholic or whatever it may be, instead of joining in the gossip, say "I hope he/she is doing well. I admire that he/she is coming to work despite personal struggles." When you keep it positive, there is no motivation to gossip with you, and since you haven't said anything bad about anyone, no one has reason to hate you.

Mind your business and move around the noise.

Work drama is never ever worth it! Just do you and protect your peace at all cost.
