As Jerome said downthread, it comes down to culture and individual preference. At Workantile, the wearing of headphones means "do not disturb". We also have two levels, a ground floor level and a loft level which not acoustically isolated from the ground floor level. However, the loft is carpeted whereas the ground floor is not, so the loft is quieter due to that, and people will sometimes go up there for a somewhat quieter environment. But tying up a conference room for some quiet time is not something we encourage.
