Having worked in many restaurants in college I noticed how much louder some were than others simply by using carpet. I pay attention just for fun and having carpet and breaks between areas (either high backed booths, plants or complete walls) makes a huge difference. Also the height of the ceiling and whether it's dampened or not. We used to do the whisper trick at a mexican restaurant I worked in. You could eavesdrop on conversations if you mapped it out properly. Sadly a customer could also hear you talking inappropriately as well.
