I bring it up to managers and co-workers as often as I can, without sounding too bitchy or out of place, because I know how fickle some humans can be, I don't want to be a constant source of negativity -- you have to be in an exalted position to bring up these things, because otherwise you'll just be brushed aside -- well Frank over there sits in the noise and he's twice as productive as you -- well I am not Frank. That's part the reason I don't quit. I am hoping to excite some kind of change. There are enough psychological studies and evidence based claims I can make to fill a boardroom on the negative effects of distraction on productivity, it's just finding the right opportunity and having the right leverage.
