I don’t know where in history it became unacceptable to let out a grunt while lifting weights or to drop your dumbbells on the floor. People working out are loud, it’s not your fucking privilege to have a low decibel level in a gym. Even if I was screaming, who is it hurting? Gyms should be expected to be more of a loud environment. Silence should be the exception not the norm, people who want silence are the minority and they should have to schedule their quiet times in a manner that doesn’t interfere normal every day gym goers.

    Why is that behavior bad? The only unacceptable behavior in a gym is sexual advances, theft, and not cleaning up after yourself. Noise is not the issue.

      I don't want to hear you scream and look to see if you've been injured while I'm in the middle of a deadlift PR. Normal grunts and clanks are fine and easily blocked out by headphones. If you want to be extremely loud, lift in the nude. etc., get a home gym.
