That's actually understandable. But would you torture your pets by leaving the tv on an offensively obnoxious cheap bastard channel that blares high volume commercials every couple of minutes? Would you do that to your pets? I hope not. Cats and dogs have far more sensitive hearing than humans do. Yeah, their ears are designed for a relatively quiet environment to detect noises, if your dog or cat was out in the wild, that is. Let's consider what their ears are designed for. Ears aren't there for constant exposure to noise, no. You should be very selective about the noise quality that gently distracts, but doesn't stress them out. I have no idea if you know this. I'll just hope that you do.
Anyways, I wouldn't torture my pets with obnoxiously high volume noisy shitty tv, no. I just know better. Often animals just tolerate such things, but it isn't all that healthy for them (or humans, but some people are beyond stupid).
My career is centered on wildlife biology and I'm a certified feral vet, so yes I do know how cats and dogs ears work lol. But with that I agree, think that's a bit overkill of them.
KholatKhal, no worries about you and or pets then at all. They're in safe, happy, healthy hands. :-) Ah, spared me a bit from my typical lack of faith in humanity, thanks!
I don't think I know everything. I'm very evidence-based. I look at research and if the shoe fits, sometimes I'm probably reasonably correct. In this case, I can find other objective individuals that would support my reasoning. TV's left on like I mentioned above is entirely unhealthy, or it's an indication of an individual that is unhealthy, or partakes in an activity that has a negative effect.
Have you not read about noise exposure and stress? There's a reason we have noise regulations, for example.
Here's a teeny tiny article for your own self-education:
How Background TV Undermines Well-Being
https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/minding-the-body/201305/how-background-tv-undermines-well-being
A lot of people watch tv or leave it on, but research is ample to show that this is just not good for your health. Physiologically, it's disruptive to healthy sleep patterns, and it's not all that beneficial to your brain health.
Find me some kind of credible evidence that says differently, please?
I can laugh at this though. Yeah, I'm making a mountain out of a molehill. This doesn't matter in the great grand scheme of life. True, let people do as they please, especially if what they do is their own business. Yes, I agree with you there.
I'll just visit less a wee bit less often. I can joke too. I'm not always so serious. But, I do hate tv!!!!! So much so, I want to remotely disable them from afar!
Fair enough. Maybe instead of visiting less often get some noise reducing headphones.
I'm not implying t.v is good for you, like I said I dont even own one. I just think that for every choice we make there beneficial and negative consequences. I don't think in terms of black and white or ultimate truths sorry.
You seem to and thats fine but it comes across as condescending and arrogant.
Earplugs and soundproofing, yeah!
I just tolerate their tv habits when I'm there. Actually, I say nothing to them. My option is to persuade them to watch a movie or something other than their crazy preference for obnoxious violence-infested news channels.
I came across as arrogant? Yeah, I can see that. It's a bit lecture-y, I suppose. My apology. I did a bunch of public health research at school, okay.
Just to post it.

Environmental Noise May Be More Stressful Than You Realize
https://www.verywell.com/stress-and-noise-pollution-how-you-may-be-at-risk-3145041
Home Sound--Many people don’t think of their homes as ‘noisy’, but if there’s a lot of activity in the home, including a constantly running t.v., this overall noise level can actually be a threat to concentration and a cause of stress. In fact, children from more noisy homes do suffer ill effects from this type of sound pollution that include less cognitive growth, delayed language skills, increased anxiety, and impaired resilience, according to a Purdue University professor in a related press release.
There was a time when scienfic journals said the earth was flat and medical journals have said all kinds of nonsense over the years. Try not to place blind faith in all that crap because things change.
IIN for people to keep tv's on ALL DAMN DAY (and night)? WTF?

lol! I can picture a cat trying to attack the tv.

How old are your parents. They may be deaf.
You could use a dose of humility. Your way isn't the only way and no, you don't know everything, even tho you think you do.

Doesn't bother me, very few things do, just pointing out my opinion. Rude? Maybe. One flaw of mine is I tend to speak my mind.

Yeah, and it also depends on who funded a study. But seriously, if you ignore research, that's daft as all hell.
Blind faith? Huh? No, not religious. Evidence and outcomes only.
