As an addendum to our conversation about noisy restaurants... the new
hospital building I work in has the worst acoustics possible in the
cafeteria. The old one had acoustic tile ceiling and carpet on the floor,
and I could go sit, eat, and read a book. The new one is all hard tile and
brick with one glass wall, and it's all open. During lunch, it's
unbelievably noisy in there, so I've taken to eating in our tiny, tiny
little break room at 2pm so I can find a seat. Tomorrow I'm going to go
into the main room around noon with the SPL meter and get a level just for
kicks.
If I wanted things that noisy all the time, I'd shop at Ambercrombie and
Fitch at the mall, where they have the music so loud it's challenging to
hold a conversation in front of the entryway.
