It's like any other kind of noise--if you need to make it and just can't help it, fine. It happens, Just don't sit in the Quiet Car. That is not a difficult concept to grasp. They were given priority boarding. They had their choice of every other car with the exception of the first one. They chose the car with rules they could not abide by, while elderly, disabled people following those rules were made to move so the rule breakers could continue to break the rules and disturb the entire car. There is no way in the world to twist this to make the rule breakers the victims.

If you don't like or for some reason can't follow the rules of the car you're sitting in, don't sit there. It couldn't be more simple than that.
