Letter: Pub music is far too loud!

Can someone please explain to me why some town centre pubs have loud background music?

I understand that they may be late night venues, when you expect the music to be loud, but I am talking about early evening.

Look around and you will see people eating, and having to shout to be heard. From what I see, nobody is taking notice of the so called music. Background music is very nice, but that is what it should be.
