Is there a problem with the sounds of nature???
In the city I would want to hear what is coming up on me, be it a car,
dog, or person.
If you ride the same bike path every day, that might get boring enough for
a music diversion.
Does anybody want to jump in with statistic of how many people, probably
joggers mostly, get hurt by not hearing things due to their music
addiction during outdoor workouts???
The first Terminator movie (I think) had a scene of a girl getting blown
away because she was wearing headphones and didn't even hear the bad guy
breaking in. Movie, yes, possible, yes.
