So an occasional loud laugh is OK, but loud conversation and laughter
is as annoying (or maybe more annoying) than a crying baby, because I
can sympathize with the parents of the baby, and I have no sympathy
for loud adults.

I was once in a restaurant with a group of deaf parents whose babies were
making such a racket. They didn't notice, becuase they were deaf, but it
was the most awful dinner I'd ever had. No one, including me, could bring
themselves to tell the deaf parents they were too noisy. I'm not sure they
would know how to quiet the kids, since they probably never had to and
wouldn't know if the babies were using quiet voices anyway.

Yes but how often does that happen?

This woman that I mentioned was laughing about every minute or minute
and a half. It was just once or twice, but with great frequency for a
half an hour or so. She quieted down briefly when she ate, but they
were almost finished dinner so it was dessert and didn't last long.
Her laugh was not quite as bad as Fran Dresher (The Nanny), but it was
close.
