Exactly. The problem is when the guy beside you is trying to focus. Your ideas bounce off the analyst, but they also bounce off your neighbor whether he likes it or not.
There are technologies that allow you to get immediate responses like instant messengers and email. If you absolutely want an audio or video conversation, a better place for that would be in an isolated area (like an enclosed room) where you won't disturb anyone else.
