Tara, my late sister, who lived alone, used to put her TV on to break the silence in the house. It was her house and she would always be happy to reduce the volume if a visitor mentioned that it was a bit loud.
You many not like how some people live their lives, but if you visit them in their own homes I am afraid you have to put up with it, or find a diplomatic way of asking them to make small changes.
If they can't do as they please in their own home we need to ask ourselves " Is it us that are being intolerant?"
