In restaurants or clubs: refrigerators and/or vending machines humming away. It's true that customers seem to clean a lot when I come. I wonder if they do it all the time when I'm not there ... I put up with the running water in the sink (in spite of the white noise), also the automatic dishwasher; and the garbage disposal I can wait out. But when they start the vacuum cleaner and turn up the sound on the TV I stop and ask them to postpone it. When kids try to play along (always in the deep bass) I tell them they can play all they want as soon as I go. (Mothers must love me for this.) Does anyone else get very, very young children who sing and match the notes you're tuning in the treble? A sign of talent, especially when they get it right, but very hard to tune through.
