Empty vessels make the most sound.
You'll find that empty vessels make the most sound.

Scientists have determined that the most irritating sound to the human ear is the sound of a knife cutting a glass bottle. And the second-worst sound is a fork scratching a glass bottle. Evidently they did all their research at the Picnic for Morons.
Sound changes moods, yet most of the sound around us is unplanned.
