It is just an electronic fire. Muttering away in the background.
Why should it bother one?
Because some of us just don't have the ability to tune it out.
I guess it may depend upon how you were raised.
Nonsense. I grew up around blaring TVs. Once I got out of the house, I
finally made the connection that if I got rid of the infernal racket, I
didn't have to live with a constant headache.
Nonsense? That is a bit harsh. I simply said I "guess."
Indeed I find it easier to concentrate when their is a continuous
stream of activity around me.
Some people can, some cannot.
So you cannot. I can. Sorry you have this problem.
Ordinary television I can tune out. But my wife's native language is
Spanish, which I still have difficulty understanding, particularly in a
noisy environment. But my brain wants to know what is being said in
Spanish, so my wife's novellas and news shows are impossible for me to
ignore. They give me headaches. The news programs are particularly bad
because of the high speed, sing-song, whining sound of their voices.
