Let's see--well, from what I gather, anyone who may have such sensory issues may not even be allowed in the military; they'd be "4-F'd", if that's the correct term, and, well, such lights and sounds may not bother you particularly, but those on the autism spectrum--like me--might find bright lights and intrusive background music to be disturbing and even distressful. While, I imagine, its presence or absence may not impact you at all either way. Its kinda like having Disabled parking spaces. Those that can walk a bit arent affected largely by the restrictions of handicap-only spaces, and having those spaces closer to the doors makes it less demanding on a person in a wheelchair or, like my dad here in TV, a walker.
Hope this clears things up.

Let's hope we never get into a real war. I can see it now: "Sargeant, would you please tell the enemy to cut it out---their bombs are too bright and too noisy. Also, you failed to designate which foxholes are free speech zones." We are in trouble.
