I remember this. I didn't hate it (perhaps because I lived with headphones in whether I was listening to anything or not), in order to regulate and prevent sensory overload.

On the other hand, I also do remember and did hat that apps tried to replicate it in the 2000's and even the 2010's and that was during a time when I was in the military and my roommate/her husband used this feature.

I cannot tell you how many times I've been woken up because one or the other of them was using this "feature". I can tell you that they didn't stay my roommate for long as a result.
