Some of my razors talk, some don't. I generally have the music loud enough I can't hear the razor anyway. I go more by feel.
+1!You absolutely must have quiet.
If you are listening to music, news, or some thoughtless person speaking in the background, you are not concentrating (1) and missing out on the whole Zen focus-less-ness experience (2).

I like a bit of feedback on a razor, I also like to feel it too
Smooth and loud
Loud with feeling
Silent with feeling
(All good)
Smooth and silent
(No fun in my book)
InterestingThe one thing I had to overcome was unconsciously adding more pressure when I hear whiskers. I was thinking to myself "boy, sounds like a lot of stubble still there, I better add some pressure to get rid of it all"

Can't tell you how many times I've had to say, 'screw it' and just shave it all off after too much sculpting hahaI remember that from my early days with a DE! Especially when I decided to grow a short beard occasionally and decided to get rid of it (or screwed up trying to line up a goatee/van dyke).
Speculate no longer; one of the main reasons of the sound is blade chatter i.e. the vibration of the blade. It tends to increase the steeper you go. At a neutral angle each razor has its own tune as it were.What is the cause of the sound some razor have?
I think it must be a minutely vibrating blade. Doesn't there have to be vibration for a sound to exist? But I'm speculating.
