We recently had an office re-org (in the physical "take your shit to different desks" sense). Our manager lobbied hard, and succeeded, to move our relatively small engineering team and stick us in the corner, away from sales folks, etc., who are on the phone all day - and especially from the one person who was frequently on the phone and loud enough to go through my big over-the-ear headphones.

Right now, I sit in between an R+D group working on experimental prototypes and a PM group whose members often (loudly) explain our products to customers during sales calls. This is after our previous move, about 8 months ago. For the last several months, my manager has been lobbying to move my group somewhere with a more reasonable noise level.
At the moment, a couple members of the R+D team are discussing a new database schema, and I'm wishing that another manager hadn't swooped in an taken the place we were planning to move to a week ago.
