<p>your reply made me question myself so I got Skin in the Game off the shelf and whadddayknow he _does_ give a definition:<p>"Perfect ergodicity means that each one of us, should he live forever, would spend a proportion of the time in the economic conditions of the entire cross-section[of the U.S. population]: out of, say, a century, an average of sixty years in the lower middle class, twenty years in the blue-collar class, and perhaps one single year in the one percent"</p>

<p>Sadly it's because manufacturers deliberately make them loud  to make it seem like they're doing their job more. It's the same with many garden tools. Lawnmowers, leaf blowers and hedge trimmers can be made very quiet but they're deliberately made loud to make it feel like they're doing their job more.</p>
