Noisy restaurants | ENO lighting | Letter published at 92 | Booling your tansad | Sturm in Drang | A twitchell
As we both have hearing problems, my wife and I endorse everything said by your correspondent about noisy restaurants (and pubs) (Letters, 8 June). The big difference would be made though if clients told architects and interior designers to incorporate more sound-absorbing materials in and on floors, walls and other surfaces. By smothering reflected noise, people wouldn’t need to talk so loudly to be heard, thus adding to the problem.

• Since both the Guardian and Anish Kapoor seem entranced by the lighting of ENO’s Tristan and Isolde (G2, 8 June), it seems only fair to mention the lighting designer: Paul Anderson. Perhaps you might want to interview him?
