Vox presents an article about restaurant noise levels and why they've risen over the years.
When the Line Hotel opened in Washington, DC, last December, the cocktail bars, gourmet coffee shops, and restaurants that fill its cavernous lobby drew a lot of buzz. Housed in a century-old church, the space was also reputedly beautiful.
My first visit in February confirmed that the Line was indeed as sleek as my friends and restaurant critics had suggested. There was just one problem: I wanted to leave almost as soon as I walked in. My ears were invaded by a deafening din.
[...] In reckoning with this underappreciated health threat, I’ve been wondering how we got here and why any well-meaning restaurateur would inflict this pain on his or her patrons and staff. I learned that there are a number of reasons — and they mostly have to do with restaurant design trends. In exposing them, I hope restaurateurs will take note: You may be deafening your staff and patrons.

DelTaco has some nice music... or, at least, I like it better than most streams I have listened to.
I'd like to find out if they are streaming it and how to tie into the stream. However, from what I can tell, some "expert" gets the store internet running, the sales registers tie in, as does the music, and a hot spot for the diners, then the expert leaves. The restaurant manager just has a number to call if the thing messes up... which very rarely happens. I was hoping it was simple as something like a Jango stream.
