Restaurants that properly handle noise are awesome. Busy ones can get loud even without music, but if they take steps to address sound reverberation, it can make a huge difference.
Some places are so loud, employees should be required to wear hearing protection.
Not exactly true, Rock wool is a great material for this purpose and is cheap and safe. It’s just that these products originated in the high end music world for recording studios or fancy setups in millionaire houses, so they just charge whatever they want.
I absolutely hate places with “background” music that isn’t in the background.

There’s a brewery near me that gets so loud that my ears are ringing when I leave. And they don’t play background music. I don’t go there anymore
Noise deadening material that isn’t also incredibly flammable is very expensive.

So they’re incredibly expensive?
Right, but it’s not really because of the material. Also you can very much DIY for much cheaper.
Damn wish there was some other solution…
What exactly are you trying to say?
Lower the volume
They said there is no music, it’s just loud people.
Maybe less snark, more reading comprehension next time?
