TV - Background Noise
For a very long time now Documentaries have been plagued by irresponsible program producers implanting over-loud noise on all programs where people are talking.
The noise is usually created by abusing musical instruments to such a degree that it is difficult to hear what the people are saying. Incredibly bad manners on the part of the producers.
There is no need for this irresponsible behaviour and complete disregard for viewers pleasure. Sometimes this infernal din is coupled with loud noises on the film clips, it is then utterly impossible to hear what the presenter or person is saying.
Often, the person talking is simply sat in a room and why some idiot should spoil their speaking with some instrument or other noise is beyond comprehension.
The age of silent films where some guy went mad on a piano to create a sense of excitement are long gone. But who needs excitement when the person is sat in a quiet room talking ?
Oddly enough, I have never noticed this infernal row being made when the news is on or when the Queen or Prime Minister are giving a speech.
Where program producers get the idea that when people are talking, their voice must be completely obliterated by some unbelievable racket performed by abusing a variety of musical instruments or some other noise, I will never ever understand.
People who have hearing problems simply cannot hear what is being said. Many battle scenes where the sounds of battle are loud enough, are still inflicted with background noise by the producers.
Do you have this irritating problem ?
