I find that odd, too!
The only time I've been irritated by another person's machine was at a retreat when another quilter was doing satin-stitched applique. She had the pedal to the medal but because it was satin stitch, it was slow going. Her machine was really loud, so loud that you couldn't chit chat with your neighbor. We all tolerated it for an hour or so (without compaint!), then we decided to go get coffee and go shop-hopping, and she stayed behind to finish her satin stitching. 😁
