Think has the right idea for timing. Note the popularity of early bird specials in FL. I feel like other generations are more accepting of high ambient noise. whether it is at concerts, restaurants, boat & car stereo or even just walking down the street talking on the phone, loud enough to be heard over street noise.
The last three lakes region restaurants I went to all had laminate flooring. That's noisy to start with, but it's easy to clean compared to carpet which absorbs sound as well as spilled drinks. During the pandemic, we liked the partitions in restaurant dining rooms and the outdoor igloos were the best. Those should never have been removed. As I write here, it occurs to me that the places I go to locally (Merrimack) are not as noisy, even with entertainment. Are we all louder when we're on vacation?
