If I am walking down the street, listening to something on my earphones, I inevitably have to pause/rewind if a non-commerical car is passing by.
I could maybe get headphones, or some noise cancelling earphones, but I shouldn't have to.
Valid; I should have clarified. This is a matter of degree, not kind.
Commercial vehicles are much louder than cars. Especially at the lower speeds where engine noise dominates tire noise.
