Why is the music in Sydney cafes so loud? It’s hardly relaxing and makes conversation difficult. This morning, I decided to enjoy a lovely walk to a café, taking in the beautiful weather. Upon arriving, I was greeted by blaring music—something I’ve noticed is common in Sydney cafes.

It’s not calming at all; in fact, it makes it hard to talk, forcing everyone to raise their voices and creating an overwhelming noise level. Is the loud music meant to prevent staff from getting bored? Have the café owners ever tried having a meal or reading the newspaper in their own establishments?

I wish cafes would reconsider this trend of blasting loud music. It only adds to my stress and detracts from the experience of simply enjoying the space.

One thought on “Why is the music in Sydney cafes so loud? It isn’t relaxing at all and it’s hard to talk.”

  1. I completely understand your frustration! It can be really counterproductive to have loud music in a space that’s supposed to be a place of relaxation and conversation. Many cafes opt for louder music, thinking it creates a lively atmosphere or encourages people to socialize more, but it often ends up being the opposite. It’s interesting that you mention the impact on ambient noise levels; it becomes a cycle where everyone has to raise their voices just to be heard.

    It’s true that some cafe owners might not consider how their customers experience the space. A quieter, more soothing ambiance can make such a difference, allowing people to really enjoy their coffee, chat, or even read in peace. Hopefully, more cafes will take note of what patrons are looking for and adjust their music volume accordingly. Maybe sharing feedback with the cafe management directly could encourage a change in their approach!
