Tolerable noise levels. ... In a large-business office, a higher degree of background noise might be acceptable, up to the point at which it interferes with conferences and telephone conversations. In general, people usually tolerate a noise conveying no information better than they do one that tells them something, and an expected noise is usually more tolerable than an unexpected one of the same magnitude. 1, record 1, English, - tolerable%20noise%20level
