Letter: Sound barrier
Your support helps us to tell the story
My recent work focusing on Latino voters in Arizona has shown me how crucial independent journalism is in giving voice to underrepresented communities.
Your support is what allows us to tell these stories, bringing attention to the issues that are often overlooked. Without your contributions, these voices might not be heard.
Every dollar you give helps us continue to shine a light on these critical issues in the run up to the election and beyond

Sir: I've been unwillingly thinking about Muzak in shops (Letters, 11 November). I decided a while back to stop going into shops that inflict this. It makes me feel ill.
Television programmes can also be seen as shops. I stopped going into Channel 4's world chess shop for the same reason, and I would not go into Notes & Queries again. Even wildlife programmes have resorted to it, and with sport it's a bad habit. It is lazier and cheaper to switch on a rhythm machine than to commission real music, if backing is needed, but if they think we all want it, I'd like to be counted as a non-passive customer.
Yours sincerely,
