He does not know…

Did it ever happen to you that your office-neighbor was too loud talking to someone (over the phone or in person) to the point that you could no longer think about your research?
Well, I was very lucky. My only office-neighbor was a retired VIP, who helped to build this 8-story building and was given to a nice corner office before I moved in. He had a sound system in his office, among other things. He told me that if his music was ever too loud for me, please let him know. I had no problem, because I had a door to shut out noises if I needed to and his music was never too loud. (Though his meeting with his visitors was loud from time to time, but I had a door.)
At my present office, noise is more a problem, because my neighbors are all into PR, or outreach. Luckily, I have a door. Still, once or twice, I have to step out to tell them: “Please, I cannot work (when you guys are so loud).” It works like a magic ward, because no one wants to be “accused” of bothering co-worker with loud talking/chatting, because this is a work place, not a nightclub.
A junior colleague came to me for advice, because she has a cubic and some of her “neighbors” are LOUD. I told her to stand up for her rights: This is a work place, please lower your voice. If I were that loud person, I prefer to be told than to be “hated” privately.
