The Sound and the Fury

I have an aid that drives me to therapy.  One day, he told me I can turn the radio to a station I like.  So, I browsed through the stations.  After hearing one torturous song after the other, I decided to turn the radio off.  I would rather have silence than pulsing/obnoxious beats.  My aid promptly turned the radio back on.  This declares something horrible about society:  the preference of disturbing sound over silence.  What ever happened to peace and quiet?
