I absolutely hate the droning of airplanes and blimp over the golf course while watching on TV.

I've been wondering with the use of drones the last several years why pay for the blimp?

Sometimes the background noise is way too loud, especially on CBS. When that happens, I turn on Secondary Audio. For some reason, it amplifies the voices. On regular TV shows it is in Spanish or describes the scene for the visually impaired.

If it’s too loud, you’re too old.

Funny.  I'm old and it's just just the other way around for me.  I can hardly hear anything even with hearing aids.

Lose the damn fake bird sounds or if they are real then mute them. We all know they're outside in nature and don't need to be reminded. ::)

I love golf, the fightin irish, and beautiful women depending on the season and availability.

The blimp is free to the TV outlet as long as the sponsor is mentioned and the blimp is shown occasionally.

Forget about on TV. I hate the sound of fountains on courses.

Some good mentions...

I'll go with blaring music on the golf course.  Is it really that difficult to use ear buds?

Even if LIV wasn't LIV the music alone would discourage me from those broadcasts...

I found this particularly bad during zero crowd tournaments during Covid as there was no crowd noise to even partially offset the drone of the blimp.

Think of the Blimp as a hovering billboard.
My biggest wonder is why the blimp shows up at a closed domed stadium.
