You mean like using the INTERNET. I read translated Asian novels,

But presumably on an emulator there will be some
kind of volume
control. Or even unplug the speaker(s) if you want silence...
But then, what of the "realism"? Is the sound of a half-ton of
dynamite going off realistic at 50 dB? Many aspects of "the good old
days" weren't all that good.
I suppose we could also provide a sensation of reality by slowing our
modern systems to a crawl, having them go down every few days, and
include some rats under a raised floor. Thank you, no. I like my computers quiet.
