Yoused
up
I talk on FaceTime with my best friend rather often (usually more than twice a week). We got in a bit of a squabble the other day because my attention lapsed somewhat.
Now, she is one of those persons who has to be doing something all the time. It may be an ADHD affect, and I have become accustomed to it. But, my god, the mic (she is on a '19 iMac, me on an iPad) picks up everything. Whatever she was doing, it sounded, to me, like someone crackling a bag of snacks, a constant noise that started to drive me off of listening.
I seem to be hypersensitive to sound. When I was on jury duty, I tried sitting in the hallway, but it was marble and 50 other people were also sitting in the hallway, having 25 conversations: the carpet of babble-noise was unbearable. I get aggravated when I am trying to hear the TV and my cousin has to expound over the dialog.
Has anyone else here experienced the horrible sound qualities of FaceTime? It just seems like, with the super-sophistication level of modern hardware (e.g., neural network subsystems) the problem of mic sensitivity should be somewhat solvable. (I will note, however, that my connection peaks at 1Mbps, so that could be part of the problem.)
