I usually have headphones on. The shrieking from the prisoners in shackles can be so annoying.

They have to walk through dev to get to two Training Rooms, they all say hello on the way past, the ones who aren't on the phone. I have requested a partition wall, which is a pity as sometimes the view is quiet good.
|
|
|
|
|
Might I offer a helpful suggestion?
Place a sign on the partition, directing one side for men, the other for women, oriented so that your preferred Vice nice view is available.

There's very little conversation in our office, so I bring an MP3 player in.
|
|
|
|
|
At work I close my office door and play music on my speakers all day long from my mp3 player with a HD radio. I still at times hear loud talking in the hall which I find disturbing probably because I do not understand the language it is spoken in. Perhaps my brain is trying to compensate for that..

Since we moved to a new location, the company decided to save some money by minimizing the amout of walls between workers. There are no walls on the sides (we can see each other all the time), and only one wall in front of us (I can see the head of a co-worker). You can imagine the amount of noise when everyone is speaking on the phone or just chatting. I'm quitting my job because of this, and I'm not the only one...

I have to yell "STFU" and that seems to do the trick for the next five minutes.
Just along for the ride.

Mostly due to the BACON I use as sound proofing.
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

If it wasn't for the telephone on my desk that seems to ring constantly.

Pick up the handset to stop the ringing
|

I turned the ringer off on my phone, it makes things so much more bearable.

That should be "quiet" instead of "quite".
The author of this survey was not quite on target.
I'd better be quiet now before I get bashed for being a wise guy.

I saw that too after I had already posted, so I just thought I leave it for somebody else to pick up.

It's a sea of activity, and inevitably not a calm ocean.
Would love the environment to be calm, but it's hard to shut the noise. 
And when I'm into my work[/monitor], I normally don't put my ear to any work

Just that something can be done, doesn't mean it should be done. Respect developers and their efforts!

I used earphones because my work environment is a little bit noisy, there are arguments here and there.
