Most of this was historical in nature, which is fine but largely uninteresting to me at the moment. But I did perk up when I recognized one of the issues highlighted by an open floor plan in your home - noises not being contained to one area. For example, trying to watch TV while someone wants to get something done in the kitchen. My spouse and I do this to each other all the time. Someone wants to grind coffee, grab a snack or wash some dishes, but it makes hearing the precious TV so much harder!
- Animats 7y agoThis has been one of the motivations for making kitchen appliances quieter. Quieter dishwashers and garbage disposals are a thing.
- rootsofallevil 7y agoIt never use to bother me, perhaps because we didn't have a TV for so long, so watching a movie or a TV episode was a bit of an event: Power Up Modem, Power up old PC, load Chrome, Fire up Netflix and a good 2 minutes had elapsed. Now that we have a TV and still only watch Netflix or Youtube but because it's so easy I find myself watching stuff almost like a TV and get really annoyed when there is noise coming from the kitchen.
