No, some people just don't like distractions. I usually have music on in the background at home, there's some songs I can't listen to any more because it just reminds me of giving a blowjob. The television doesn't really bother me personally, I can zone out most things within reason, and in hotels I do tend to put the TV on. I usually switch it to a music channel though to drown out voices; if someone asks me to put it off, I will. Not sure why anyone would find it unprofessional to have music on, but each to their own!
He just sounds like he's loud.
