Sorry I do not think I am going to be a lot of help here...
Recommendation: The best thing to do is to get out of the open office environment, I find that I am greatly affected by background distractions. I have had five fold productivity increases when working from home or in some other comfortable place away from the mad office. If that fails, I have used "Bose QuietComfort(R) 15 Acoustic Noise Cancelling(R) headphones" ( http://worldwide.bose.com/axa/en_au/web/quietcomfort_15/page.html) which are great at cancelling out the background road sounds on the bus, but pretty useless at the higher frequency office sounds. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Noise-cancelling_headphones#Real-world_performance_of_noise-cancelling_headphonesfor a discussion on this. The best solution is that everyone has a work cubical with a lot of sound deadening material and meetings happen in meeting rooms, not at desks.
