Why restaurants became so loud
Just got back from Italy.  We hadn&#x27;t really noticed the noise levels while there, but when we got back and ate out, we were like &quot;OMG, what happened?&quot;  It was almost impossible to have a conversation.  And, it seems like all of the newest restaurants are insanely loud.  We went to Seasons 52 and a couple ladies at a table next to us almost knocked us out of our seats especially with their laughs and screams.<p>But, it&#x27;s funny because so many Americans think Italians are loud.  They&#x27;re much quieter when eating out.  And other cultures, like the English and Dutch talk basically in whispers.<p>And living in California where there&#x27;s a law for everything.  It&#x27;s gotta be bad for your hearing.  Which brings me to another question.  I wonder why CALOSHA hasn&#x27;t done anything about it?<p>Maybe the same reason that the fire department doesn&#x27;t do anything about all the locked doors with the sign above that says &quot;These doors shall remain unlocked during business hours&quot;.  Apparently public servants are only required enforce laws against the homeless and kids riding without helmets to junior life guards ... and people who point out stuff they&#x27;re supposed to be doing...Uh oh.
