Get a Cell Phone jammer compatable with 4G/ 3G/2G, very handy and discreet,
A friend got one of those a few years ago. Could be fun but very much illegal.
Most the fun things are against the law.

Germany it is the same speaking loud on phones, using speaker to make a call, facetime.
Even with earphones you can hear them.

In 99% of the cases I can not understand what they say, you can imagine....

Using public transportation is a Desaster

The worst is when you're at a restaurant and the restaurant owner, their spouse, kid, other family member, friend or the staff starts watching a video on their smartphone.

How clueless can you be, chasing away your customers? :wave:

Many of the locals (including my other half's family) live in relatively small homes with a lot of occupants, I don't think peace and quiet is a normal part of everyday life. On the other hand, most households do tend to go silent pretty early each evening
