It's true of movies, documentaries, PBS presentations, shows like Dateline, 20/20, 48 Hours, and even public service announcements. In other words, nearly everything we watch. I can't understand why there even has to be background noise, especially accompanying dialogue – and it can't be just me that's bothered by it. Is there anyone to complain to with any hope of being taken seriously? Just wondering/asking.

Always wondered why the producers of these shows think the background noise enhances the experience.
My pet peeve is laugh tracks. Do not think I need one to decide if something is funny.
