Literally, a noisy room. A bar on a busy night; everyone is shouting in an effort to be heard over the loud music and the other people shouting. (Literal unironic object-level question: why do so many people think this is a good social setting? Maybe the noise serves an important social function I’m not seeing?)
I suppose when it is hard to hear anyone, it provides a kind of privacy. You don’t have to worry about someone on the opposite side of the room (or the table) overhearing you.
Plausible deniability? If your partner can hardly hear you, you can insist they misheard.
Some people just don’t like talking. In this environment, they have an excuse.
