There's a Japanese guy who campaigns against pervasive noise and inane repetitious instructions. There's an article on him here: http://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2014/10/10/lifestyle/making-noise-keeping-decibels/#.VRHx8uHwCFE http://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2014/10/10/lifestyle/making... and somebody has been translating some of his book to English and commenting on it. I believe there's a link at the end of this article.
