This is painfully relatable... Marketing and sales teams don't seem to mind much but as a developer I once had to quit a job because of this.

I actually worked in sales and trust me, we DO mind the noise. Imagine trying to talk to a client on the phone when you can barely hear yourself.

Also gives me a pretty poor impression when I hear other sales people shouting over whoever I'm talking to. Feels like they are in some kinda boiler room selling me vapourware.
