There's another reason besides inconsiderate people talking over the music (and if you can hear them over the music, I'd suggest the music isn't really as loud as you think it is)...
It's also the WVLS radio coming out of the BOSE speakers that are planted ALL AROUND the squares - both within the squares planted in the ground, and the ones on the light-poles. WVLS chooses not to lower the volume when there's a performance going on. The conflicting noise is disorienting when you're walking from your parking space a block away, and approaching the square. Once you get to the square, your brain has already registered the sound of the radio, and it doesn't QUITE go away until you're sitting around the stage or on the dance floor.
