+1 for the Bose, had them a few years, used in open plan office to good effect
for stopping background air con hum etc. but won’t cancel someone having a
conversion next to you. Scary think is when you take them off you notice how
much ambient background noise there is.
Anyone enjoy working in open plan offices? Rather have a separate “war room”
where the team sits together??

Sorry I do not think I am going to be a lot of help here…
Recommendation: The best thing to do is to get out of the open office
environment, I find that I am greatly affected by background distractions. I
have had five fold productivity increases when working from home or in some
other comfortable place away from the mad office.
If that fails, I have used “Bose QuietComfort® 15 Acoustic Noise Cancelling®
headphones” (http://worldwide.bose.com/axa/en_au/web/quietcomfort_15/page.html)
which are great at cancelling out the background road sounds on the bus, but
pretty useless at the higher frequency office sounds. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Noise-cancelling_headphones#Real-world_performance_of_noise-cancelling_headphones
for a discussion on this.
The best solution is that everyone has a work cubical with a lot of sound
deadening material and meetings happen in meeting rooms, not at desks.

Hi All
So that I can concentrate better, I am trying to filter out the mouse clicking
sound from person at the desk next to me.
Has anyone any tech recommendations on how to do this?
Thanks
