Looks like I can undo it.

Oh this is crazy!

Irene's answer was helpful but I didn't mean to mark it as THE answer.

[Is there a way to tell if people are talking?]

I went to a club where half a dozen people were standing around in what seemed like silence.  They all were standing in pairs like couples so I didn't interrupt.

After I left, I wondered whether they were talking in IMs or using voice.  I had shut my voice off because I figured it was using bandwidth.

Is there a way I can tell if they are talking?

I turned it off.  Thanks for the rapid feedback! 

[Is the heel-click sound evil?]

I got a nice pair of boots the other day with a very realistic heel click sound.  I like to hear it, but I'm getting the impression that most people hate it.

Should I turn it off?
