I dont mind people trying to sell onions or canvas voters but there should always be a respect for the people who are trying live a quiet life. The onion sellers arent so bad because they do tend to go away after a few minutes. But these electioneering nutters just keep at for an hour or more. And in the middle of the day. Most people are at work anyways.

I have a lot of difficult reading to get through. I might try and shove a screwdriver into my ears to stop them working.
I think, like me, your mind distinguishes between "natural sound" and "excessive man made sound."

If it's people bustling through a town chatting loudly, I don't mind all that much.

If it's a convoy of huge trucks ploughing through traffic loudly, I do mind.
