I would talk with the person privately, and tell them that their loud talking is disruptive and could hurt their job performance and reputation.
Some people like to talk, and might not realize that they are annoying other people.
Please _do not_ gossip to other people or hurt the loud talkers rep--that would be spreading gossip yourself and completely wrong.
Try to improve the "loud talkers" performance, and make them a better employee. |

Sometimes, as one person suggested, overhearing gossip and business ideas can be constructive.
However, if you are in a cube farm that echoes noise, you have to create your own zone of concentration and manage when you accept or reject unwanted noise and interruptions. Ultimately, its a balance of what you have to accomplish in your individual performance against remaining open to collaborate with others.
