Public transportation does not only generate noise itself. Passengers also sometimes create a constant background noise during the journey. It's not just since the era of smartphones that others let you listen in on private phone calls, perhaps listen to their music without headphones or simply talk at a volume that others might find annoying.

What is your tolerance level when it comes to noise on public transport? Does it make you feel stressed? As part of urban life, do you simply have to be able to put up with it to a certain extent or does it influence your decision to use public transport? Do you think certain regulations are needed to curb noise from cell phone use, for example? Let us know what you think, we look forward to a lively exchange in the comments!
