Can anyone tell me...Why when were Driving and we get lost ,the first thing we do is turn the stereo down!!?

Question

I mean what do we think is going to happen. The address is going to call out to us.

Answer 1

LOL dang thats funny, I do that all the time! If I dont know where i am going and am looking for a particular street, I turn the music down too. Thats funny, never thought anything of it :)

Answer 2

I turn the radio down so I can concentrate better on what I'm doing. The radio is a distraction.

Answer 3

It's to help us focus on what we're doing and where we're going. I do it all the time, like the street name I'm looking for is going to call out to me or something

Answer 4

It helps you concentrate. Like when you are in the dark and you hear a noise so you turn your head and move your eyes to hear better.

Answer 5

I think it's an automatic response to help us focus. I do the same thing sometimes.

Answer 6

noise is a distraction when u r trying to find your way. It's easier to concentrate when there is no noise around u.

Answer 7

what´s even funnier, is that it works - you end up finding the 'address' - now, whether it called me or not, I have not payed attention, but will next time.

Good one!

Answer 8

we also do this if we have to figure out a problem, we turn it off... if you found out bad news, or your lost...my new civic has GPS all i have to say is audio off, and it turns itself off....

Answer 9

it helps to process our thoughts with the quiet

Answer 10
