Phil Box, Climbau, Obsessedclimber, yep I agree, and thats one of the reasons I enjoy bouldering so much is the social aspect, and definately yes when with a group of friends by all means give a little stick. But if I turned up to an area with a few people and there was a couple of others there I would turn off the noise when they are getting ready to send.
I simply see it as showing a little respect for what the person is about to try and do. Now I am not suggesting that others are disrespectful because they don't share my view, they just have a different point of view.
But as much as we are all out to have fun, we are also there to try and accomplish things which we thought at one stage might be or seem impossible. I realise background noise doesn't directly interfere with you doing the problem, as in "make you fall off " { liked that Rod ;-).. }, but sorry to say I can see how it can be a distraction. Anyways interesting nonetheless
cheers
