Headphones.



I used to work directly behind the front desk/copy station/mail station with one of those noise postal meters, where the two receptionist chatted ALL day to each other and alternately fought with their boyfriends and babysitters on the phone.



After talking with my manager and asking him to talk with their manager, which resulted in them only being louder (these were 19/20 year old girls) I resorted to headphones with soothing music. Sometimes classical, and sometimes I would play myself nature CD's that had ocean waves and thunderstorms. Of course headphones, and even loud music were very common in my office with the engineers. But perhaps your manager would be willing to allow it? Good luck finding a resoultion.
