Society is extremely loud.
Loud noises are linked to a host of disorders like increased hypertension and anxiety.
There are numerous studies proving this for the sound of traffic.
If you go out to a music bar or a gig, it's deafeningly loud to the point people now bring along musician grade ear plugs (I do).
The last time I went to the gym, I could feel the god awful music in my throat.
If you're young and want to do something on the weekend, everyone is going to a nightclub. Also painfully loud, to the point you can't actually talk to someone next to you.
Not even club goers like this which is why they all cram into the smoking area.
You go to the cinema to watch a movie instead and the dialogue is a whisper while the explosions are deafening. It's nauseating.
You exit the cinema in a daze and head to the attached arcade only to walk into a wall of sound from the racing machines to the gun games to the foosball to the air hockey.
Sweating, you push through the glass door to get out onto the street. The moment your foot collides with the movement, you're overwhelmed by the sound of a jackhammer or the engine of a truck at some construction site which are just omnipresent in modern life for some reason.
I tried walking through the forest and even several kilometers out of town, I could still hear the awful din of the traffic. I don't even live in a city.
One time I walked as far out as I could muster while reserving enough energy to make it home. At long last, I was finally free of the loudness and could enjoy the pleasant sounds of nature alone. Then I heard an immense droning overhead and looked up to see some irritating hobbyist in his stupid biplane zipping through the sky. I really hope he crashed and burned and if he managed to survive I swear I would have set upon him like some tribal from Papua New Guinea except instead of eating his brain I would have eaten his ears for which he clearly had such contempt that they would better serve as nutrition for me than for him to deafen throughout a life of abuse.
An understated reason for the superiority of literature to other hobbies is that's silent.
