I know many of the videos you used

Nice idea

I love it!

And a big fan of all your videos too.

Soothing (but only on low volume)

That's what the typing pool in every large corporate office must have sounded like until the 1980s / 90s. Yikes.

Oh, it must have been far worse.
I'm too young to ever have been in such an office, but a single typewriter can make quite some more noise than any of the keyboards in that video (yes, I'm looking at you, buckling springs). Typewriters still had to hit the ink ribbon and move the carriage, so there was even more mechanical noise. Now imagine a whole office of them...

I actually did work in such an office. At that time, cars and buses for example were also much louder than today, so it wasn't that horrible.
And by the way, a typewriter was for sure less noisy than the earphones everybody seems to have screwed into their ears nowadays
