The cafes would not want that because guests are expected to leave and make room for new ones after some time. That's also why they crank up the music in these places.

Exactly. The restaurants are being made to be loud on purpose.

Hard surfaces everywhere. Loud music.

I'm tempted to get a decibel meter and threaten to file OSHA complaints.
