Hmm, so you can hear noises? Doesn’t seem much of a capsule to me! How is ventilation done? Is that noisy too?
It's almost the opposite of the US, where people take pride in exercising their right to be assholes. Talking in movie theaters, taking speakerphone calls in public, watching videos on phone speakers in airport lounges, etc. are unimaginable in Japan but sadly commonplace here in the US.
In the hotels where I stayed, there were usually little airplane-style vents supplying cool air, so you could reach up to the top of the capsule and dial whatever level of ventilation you wanted. Barely audible.
I’ve spent half my time in NYC and Seattle the past couple years. I think it really can’t be understated how different rural and urban America are in their social norms and behaviors.
