They're actually trying to solve the calls thing, but in the worst way: super fucking loud "white noise machines". Basically a tiny speaker in every other ceiling tile that makes it sound like the most oppressive AC setup in the world.
We put tape over those. Other people, too lazy to do the same, we're jealous of our cube farm!
God I didn't even consider packing tape, our office is extremely open but I bet I could stay late and sabotage every other speaker to try and reduce the noise a bit.
We used regular tape. Take a disposable coffee cup, flip it over. Make a roundish star of tape on it, sticky side up, then put the cup on a broom handle and press it against the speaker on the ceiling. No climbing needed ;)
Might not work for other models of speakers I guess, ours were just about perfectly sized for the disposable cup!
