The obtuse usage of loudspeaker become more and more common these days. It became an integral part of any social events like marriages, parties, pub, club, discotheques, place of worships, market places where sells men selling their products on loudspeaker to grab the attention of buyers. This will create distress among people – they can’t communicate easily with each other.
