Learning to recognize your sound tolerance is great. One can start venturing into places with sound knowing that you can just leave before problems arise.

Staying out of the middle of noisy rooms can be helpful if you need to be with a group of people who are talking.

I agree. How can stores expect potential customers to make a buying decision with some of the annoying noise presented. Of often, it is chosen by employees who are bored and don't need to do any serious decision making.

Good for you.
