Noise in Korea askphilosophy

As Koreans are sound tolerant, they can do many things that makes life more convenient. Drive around with delivery motorbikes from 1950 which have no mufflers. Scream out cheap Korean beef, cheap cakes in the supermarket. Play loud music in the supermarkets. Honk at any occasion just as a warning, just in case, and in residential areas. Tell news in loudspeakers placed inside each apartment. Driving around with cars with loudspeakers announcing cheap stolen airconditioners for sale, cheap pears for sale! Let the escalator talk: This is an escalator, please do not run in the escalator, nonstop. Let the elevators talk: Sam chim for third floor and it announced whether it is going up or is going down. All door locks in Korea have sounds so one can hear if the door is locked. Koreans never need to replace an old functioning refrigerator, air conditioner fan, as long as it is functioning, that is, cooling down. No matter how loud it gets as time goes by. The mail man can ring the door bell to deliver packages instead of putting a note in the mail box telling that your package is ready to pick up in the local post office. The door bell has its own sounds, for the main door and for the apartment door. Koreans tolerate noise to infinity. No noise is disturbing to them. It makes life very convenient for them, or not?
