Conference room calls and background noise are the two biggest problems I face as a remote worker. I have hard floors at my house and two dogs, so I've actually taken some very important calls in my car to isolate the sound. I wish my bluetooth headset could do that though. And people holding side conversations in conference rooms, or even people actually trying to talk directly into the microphone on a speakerphone, is always terrible. I always cringe when clients take my calls on a conference speakerphone. Phones in general are awful. Just awful. They have one purpose: to transmit human voice. And they fail at that spectacularly and constantly. It might not be noticeable when you rarely make calls or if you've had extraordinarily good luck, but if you're on the phone all day with different people who have different phones and are in different environments and natively speak different languages, it's just the worst thing. The fact that it hasn't been solved yet is unacceptable.
