Musak used to (they may still) offer a service that pumped white noise into the office rendering the open office concept much quieter. Basically it served to kill voices. You had to walk over and have conversations within a cube. There was also a noise curtain under development at one point. You placed it at the top of a door way and it projected high intensity white noise straight down with the intent of canceling out noise that might come from the room. Not sure what happened to that idea... I often listen to music in order to screen out small noises and conversations when working. I also just put in ear buds at times to do the same thing... but allowing better focus.
