Voice chats have emerged as integral parts of many online games in recent years--part of the social gaming trend--and VoIP solutions such as Teamspeak have been created in response.

It offers noise suppression, gain control, and support for multiple audio standards. It's client-server focused, and does need its own dedicated server.
