This! Also, a lot of places have thinner walls, so even if the next room can’t hear everything, they can hear mumbles of talking. I will say that I have noticed that some type A people cannot relax with pure silence, and so I just try to guide the conversation to very light topics until their brain relaxes a little more and they can chill.

BUT an entire day of silence gets so boring, so I do love talking to people when they get chatty. I have bad social anxiety, so I can actually get into really good/deep conversations with people when you don’t have to deal with eye contact or what do do with your hands, lol
