.. music on their PCs?
Seriously?
What's so wrong about confronting the individual(s) and asking them to do it differently, e.g. change their phone profile to "Office" when in work, take their personal calls away from the desk ? If someone was behaving in a different anti-social way (e.g. burping out loud), no-one would think twice about challenging them.
If you have a House Committee, maybe get them to issue a Dos and Don'ts for the work environment ?
Where I work you wouldnt get away with that sort of behavious for long'.
Simple solution - ipod/mp3 player.
Or just use a bit of manners and cop on. You would think that adults in a workplace wouldn't need to be told to turn off music when people are trying to work and to keep their mobile phones on a quiet ringtone.
Having music (especially radio with talking & ads etc) loud enough that it's affecting other people, is pretty inconsiderate alright - I've never worked anywhere where that would be acceptable though... or at least no-one I've ever worked with has had the neck to do it and see if they get away with it!
I meant an ipod for yourself, not necessarily them!!
TBH phone ringtones wouldn't bother me at all; to me it's no different than the phone on anyone's desk ringing - slightly annoying if the thing rings out, but no biggy.

Aaaaaaargh! Radios in offices!!! I used to have a client who always hads radio on in her office but quite loud. She'd ring for something and I wouldn't be able to understand a word she was saying to me as her radio was blasting in the background.
