I wear earplugs at work (as I'm in here with the servers), despite the 
noise not being generally "all that loud". I suspect it's safer to wear 
them anyway, since I work in here a _lot_ and there's a lot of fan + HDD 
noise.

Earplugs also help me retain my sanity here ;-) though don't, alas, 
offer the option of "mishearing" any "my email doesn't work" questions :-(
