Why the fuck is everyplace so fucking loud? Do they not build with acoustics in mind anymore? I want to eat in relative peace.
>>22065063The only loud places I've been to have been generally mediocre to shit. Go somewhere good
>>22065063They WANT you to leave early they dont want you hanging around holding up tables for new paying customersThat's why at steakhouses they always have their obnoxious country music turned up to 100. Studies show it reduces lingering.
>>22065068American restaurant experience sounds like hell.
why is that morbidly obese completely unfuckable guy pretending someone would marry him
>>22065073Look at this unlovable incel chud
>>22065073Go outside and see all the dudes looking like that with 2+ kids and a wife
Getting A wife has never been easier ESPECIALLY if you look like you don't have options. Getting one that hasn't been double penetrated by minoroties and isn't evil that's a completely different story.
>>22065070it is.
>>22065079My wife hasn't been penetrated by anyone but me. : )Literally a virgin when we met. Not that I'd care if she'd been with other guys before me. My cock is ridiculously thick so it would be like losing her virginity all over again, anyway.
>>22065063Only autists care about loud places. You should see a doctor
>>22065108I like being able to have a conversation with the people im with, not have to scream to have a normal convo because of loud noise.
you should use anc headphones while going to a restaurant
>>22065063the only way to stop this is for everyone to get loud. take all your based friends to shitty restaurants and talk about niggers and jews.
>>22065063>Why the fuck is everyplace so fucking loud?Euros sit this thread out.It's an American issue as they like to hear the sound of their own voices.
>>22065280>Euros sit this thread out.euros made this thread for euros.
>>22065063Is that a man?
>>22065380Nope. Both are females.
>>22065105
>>22065063The whole design of restaurants is to make you uncomfortable so that you leave. That said, normies actually like the noise; silence makes them think and that terrifies them.
>>22065400wrong
>>22065523Gaydar with this gay guy is strong.
I hate how bars are so loud that you literally can't be heard by your friends at the same table unless you yell. Great, I love having to scream over your sound system to chat with my buddies while paying for overpriced beer. I've been to some Japanese bars and typically they're a bit more tolerable, with more enclosed spaces per table and no obnoxiously loud music playing, only noise coming from the kitchen and other tables.

>>22065549Huh? Speak up, I can't hear you over the homosexual radio music.
Restaurants have various strategies for maximizing income. Some anons already mentioned high turnover restaurants, where they want you to eat, pay, and get out relatively quickly. Restaurants with better service and higher margins do the opposite, trying to get you to linger as long as possible for dessert and additional drinks. This can even vary during the day at some places, where they cater to different customers during different parts of the day. A place like IHOP might be very calm and relaxed at 3pm when old people are there for dinner but as things get closer to the evening rush, the music is turned up, partially because of more and louder patrons, but also to push out the last of the Early Bird Special crowd.
>>22065063Literally everywhere I go in Japan to eat is quiet, even when you're shoulder to shoulder with like 20 people in a 5m2 place. Amerimutts are just loud creatures with no concern for other human beings.
>>22065282This.>>22065463You are retarded. Not everything has to be a conspiracy. Go to a good restaurant that isn't designed to rotate as many customers as possible in a day.
>>22065528People calling you a fag, but what you're saying is true. It's not the restaurant, it's that everyone is a loud, obnoxious faggot in the US.
>>22065606>>22065611>Go to bar or nu age restaurant>"Open concept" design, no booths even >They're playing music over the radio>People have to speak louder to converse over the music >More people show up, meaning they have to speak louder>It's louder in general now, so the manager turns up the music>Throw in some unruly mutt children or a crying baby and you have a dining cacophony
I'll never have my own restaurant, BUT IF I DID...I'd cover every sq. ft. of the walls and ceiling in acoustic dampening foam. No sit-down restaurant I've ever been to, even the $$$ nice ones that only open for like 3 hours of dinner service, have ever done this.
>>22065734Before you open you get a visit from the fire department and you get to tear down all your beautiful foam.>>22065063The answer is cheap prefab materials. A place like your pic is most likely not that loud (actual wood) but too expensive nowadays to build.
>>22065754Fire resistant acoustic foam is a thing.
>>22065606TIL that Japan and the US are the only two countries on Earth.
>>22065778Conversation was about US and I live in Japan. Why would I go out of my way to mention restaurant in Liechtenstein?
>>22065723That's why I love places that have koshitsu. Literally like renting a room to chill with people while eating and drinking. Wish we had that back home. Even if someone's chimping out and being a loud nigger the walls (although thin) make up for most of the noise.
>>22065802Because I'm interested in restaurants in Liechtenstein cunt, when the fuck else am I ever going to hear about them?
>>22065832kek
Acoustic engineer and audiologist here.As some other anons have pointed-out, it is true that many firms specifically design restaurants and cafes to appear warm and welcoming but also to be noisy and lack speaking privacy specifically to move you on sooner than later. They want those tables freed up. Also the fact that you can cheaply mops, scub, and sanitize hard surfaces much faster and easier than soft or carpeted surfaces gives them further justification.
>>22065832You don't get loud restaurants in Europe, it tends to be an American thing.
>>22065936oh horse hockey
>>22065115>like being able to have a conversation with the people im withSo you're part of the noise
>>22065936Restaurants? No, I've never been to a loud one. Bars, though, now that's a different beast. You literally need to scream into the other person's ear even if they're only 20 cm away from you
>>22065073you gotta hit in your same weight category (you like my UFC reference? I think it's pretty clever)
>>22065068Imagine working there for 8 hours a day. Horrific
>>22065108Only trashy people don't care about aren't bothered by obnoxious and noisy environments. You should see the Door
>>22065063WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU
>>22065734>>22065754Foams exist that aren't fire hazards. You can foam ETFE and not have to worry about it burning.
>>22065611>in the US.far from it
>>22066158Far from it what?
>>22065068I swear to god last time I went to a steakhouse, at one point they turned this country song up to sonic boom space shuttle levels of volume and the staff started singing along going apeshit
>>22065108There arent many teenagers on /ck/
>>22065063>Do they not build with acoustics in mind anymore?they do.they're built to be loud so faggots like you stay away from sane people.
>>22065070only a weirdo wants to sit for longer than he eats.
>>22065907>Acoustic engineer and audiologistremember when theaters didn't have 256 channels?
>>22065608>Go to a good restaurantAwaiting list of good restaurants.
