I need to hear more from Mac. Are they broadcasting white noise over the office PA system? That is one of the most bizarre, 1984-ish things I've ever heard in a workplace.

They are pumping white noise into our office now to deal with employees talking to each other (in our COLLABORATIVE WORK SPACES).

It's driving me up a freaking wall. I need to invest in better headphones.
Wait........ what? They're deliberately making it noisy in your office because talking?
Yeah, it sounds like I'm in a wind tunnel... woooooooooooooshhhhhhhhhh.......or a heavy rain outside. They think it will drown out the other noise.

We need a YouTube or Streamable stat. How are you supposed to talk on the phone or conduct business?

You sure it's white noise and that you just don't have tinnitus?

It's white noise. When you go into the stairwell it stops. Everyone here is talking about it.

You should get all of your coworkers to pretend to fall asleep at once citing the white noise as the cause.

It's white noise, I promise you, I'm not going crazy lol. It's noticeable on all floors, but not when you go into the stairwells or hallways.

One white noise sounds similar to another white noise. Interesting.

OP delivered...that's wild. I'm sure it is louder in person. My body is conditioned to go to sleep when I have white noise on (specifically anything that sounds like a fan), so I could not operate like that.

Closed my office door for an after lunch power nap, and people won't stop calling me.

Goddamit, Monday.

It is a lot louder in person. I should walk in and out of the stairwell but there's a cranky lady that sits over there and I don't want to get her riled up over me taking a video.
