Some of these places may be going a bit overboard, by asking clients to take a vow of silence, or not speak during certain times (people used to go to ashrams or cloisters for that). My movement toward quiet was provoked by clients appreciating being able to get away from dueling stereos, revving ATVs, and drunken revelers partying all night. There are lots of other places to do those things.
This is not a library; happy sounds of children playing, people enjoying a good laugh around the campfire, etc are good things! ATVs are not turned away, but they are not allowed to run through the grounds for fun. People can play amplified music, but it must be turned off at 11 pm. The suggestion is that your music should not infringe on anyone else's enjoyment of their spot here.
Make noise during the day, when the world is awake. Let everyone sleep at night.
Slowly over the years, guests have been playing amplified music less and less during their stays, even during the day. This has nothing to do with my client guidelines and personal preferences. I love music! I don't like to be forced to listen to someone else's, particularly rap and country, for extended periods of time though.
Once again, my format is ahead of the curve. You can have the luxury of quiet here, especially if you vacation off peak times. As I cannot control the public waterway, or the highway, these background sounds are likely during the daytime, especially during long holiday weekends and late July/early August. When the sun goes down though, likely you can hear the waterfall, a km away. I have been asked by some what highway is so busy at night; it is the only sound in their auditory library that relates to the white noise they hear from the falls.
The luxury of quiet without the luxury pricetag. Good deal?
