Question: How do you feel about loud music in public places, such as restaurants or cafes?

Sample Answer (The AREA technique):

Answer: While I enjoy listening to music in public places, I believe that the volume should be appropriate for the setting and not disruptive to others.

Reason: Loud music in public places can be enjoyable and enhance the atmosphere, but it is important to be considerate of others and avoid causing unnecessary disturbance.

Example: For example, a restaurant may play background music at a low volume to create a pleasant ambiance, while a nightclub may play louder music to encourage dancing and socializing.

Alternative: While the appropriate volume of music in public places may vary depending on the setting, there may be alternative ways to enhance the atmosphere without relying on loud music, such as lighting or decor.
