Question for Mexicans Why is it so common in Mexico for the volume to be turned up ridiculously high when there is music or speaking at a public event?
I have lived in Mexico for a total of 5 years, and I have traveled all over the country. I have noticed that schools will very often turn up the volume to an insanely high level when they are playing music or when someone is speaking with a microphone. Also, when a group is exercising in a park, they will often crank up the volume of the music to a very high level.
What is the reason for this? Do very few people complain about this? Are very few people bothered by the horrendous noise pollution?
