I'd quit if I had to work in an office space with 60 dB noise. That's like sitting next to a rack of 1U servers at "moderately angry bee swarm" fan level.
I personally cannot stand to be near a noise source above 40 dB for any extended length of time (more than a few hours).
But 60 dB... wow. Can't imagine how shitty that must be to work in for 8 hours per day.

Here in my country (Spain) the recommended maximum level for office spaces is 45 dB(A) of equivalent continuous sound level (NBE-CA-88 regulation, only in Spanish: http://www.ual.es/Depar/proyectosingenieria/descargas/Normas_Edificacion/NBE-CA-88.pdf http://www.ual.es/Depar/proyectosingenieria/descargas/Normas...)
