Yeah, i make a conscious effort to make a small amount of noise so i don't startle people (assuming i don't just whack my hand/side on a doorknob and swear loudly anyway lol). I can't not hear every conversation around me and it annoys people sometimes.

lol i do that too, mostly by making my footsteps louder, but i can relate to the hitting of doorknobs - mostly with the elbows
