If there is a “Mute” button in life, what would you block out?

When I’m watching TV, I would hit the mute button during all commercial periods, and when characters in a show are yelling, screaming, yelling, or any other forms that I am unwilling to watch, to hit the button would be my first choose.
I would try to avoid those things in life as well, I am thinking about if there is a mute one in life, what kind of thing will you block out?

The dogs on the block. And anything else that wakes me up!

I hate unnecessary background music, but especially in a medical environment. Recently I have had to endure it when giving blood; at my dentists (I actually looked forward to the drill starting!); and when I was receiving physiotherapy at an NHS centre. What I dread more than anything is finding myself in hospital for any length of time and having to listen to it when I am feeling ill and unable to move... I love music but only when I have chosen to listen to it!

Dogs barking on a lovely days in the garden, when owners clearly shut them outside and then go out for the day!
