I agree! Sometimes, actually alot of times lately I have found the music in restaurants to be way too loud! :(

Yes, it should turn down the volume of the music down a little bit but not too much.

Absolutely! Many times When I go to a restaurant I want to have a conversation with others, and loud music interferes with that.

YES!

Agreed. It always seems to happen when I'm out with a friend who I haven't seen in a while and I'm trying to catch up. It's incredibly annoying having to shout over the music to each other.

This is a reason why I usually avoid eating at restaurants and prefer having meals in the quietness of my home. At restaurants, aside from the loud crappy music, sometimes there's other BS going on that you also have to put up with, so having meals at home is the much preferred option.

I ate at a sandwich shop a while back and the music was way too loud. I said I was never going back. I see the sandwich is no longer there. I also read that some restaurants keep the place too cool or the music loud so you won't stay too long after you eat.

Yes, some places are worse than others. We went to Tilted Kilt and not only was the music loud, there were several large screen TV's blasting out different sports. I won't go there again.

Famous Dave's plays music really loud but I don't mind because they play The Blues (which I love). But they could turn it down a notch.

The music is loud so the diners are spared having to hear people belching and farting.

That's funny, I hadn't thought of that. :lol:

Music in stores or restaurants should be kept to a level where you can actually hear the music and hum along, but it should not be loud enough to force you to raise your voice in order to have a conversation.

I despise televisions being on while dining out. Some restaurants have ten or fifteen different screens on, all on different channels, usually depressing news channels or sports. Who can eat while watching the deplorable state of the world on a huge screen in front of you? I avoid dining out in places such as this, because the multiple screens are too distracting. It irks me when I'm dining out and the people I'm with keep staring at the TV screens while I'm attempting to have a converstation with them, or worse yet, their smart phones!!! :mad:

Yes, but they should also ask people not to talk so loud when they are at adjacent tables. That is more annoying to me than loud music.

The loud music is why I rarely eat at Texas Roadhouse.

:lol::lol::lol::D:D:D

I guess I have been lucky, when I eat at restaurants I haven't sat near any belchers or farters!!!:crazy::D

I also dislike loud music in restaurants because it is so hard to hear or have a conversation with people. One time Mom and I ate at Chevy's and we could barely talk because the music was so loud and when we asked the waitress to turn it down she told us that's how the music needed to sound. I also noticed this in stores too namely in Safeway and at Big Lots because when you're trying to shop and talk at the same time the music is so overpowering and not only that the intercoms in stores make you feel like you're in an airport and sound like Charlie Brown's teacher in the Peanuts TV specials. I mean we are shopping not catching an airplane flight. If stores and restaurants could lower the volume of their music it would help people enjoy their food and shop better

I do wonder why music has to be so loud. Is it to drown our nearby conversations or to have some kind of sound in the business or do the employees like to hear music. I wish we could go back and hear instrumental music. It could be any song but just take out the words. Between ice machines clinking out ice, airconditioner/heating units blowing, loud conversation and bang bang boom boom music, makes me not want to go out. I do notice everyone is talking louder than they used to. Even at the local library where one used to be quiet, I hear conversations with the clerk at several feet away. Sad to say we are living in a noisy world.

I don't really like any music when I am eating at a restaurant, especially music with words. If it is just muzak type music I don't mind it that much as long as it is turned down low.
