“Poor people like noise”: the classist phrase from an influencer that sparked debate on social media.

A young woman speaks to the camera with total conviction: go to a poor neighborhood, there is noise, shouting, music blasting. Go to where rich people live… only silence. Her conclusion: wealth is silent, and learning to live without noise would be the first step to “get out of where you are”. 🤯

The reaction was immediate and fierce. While some applaud the idea as a success mindset, experts in environmental psychology point out that silence is not a virtue that is cultivated — it is a luxury that is bought. Wealthy areas have less noise because they have better soundproofing, lower density, and more private space, not because their inhabitants are more disciplined. 🔇💰

Is this girl right, or is she confusing cause with consequence?
