missed announcements are the biggest worry as the accountability if flight is missed is on the passenger.100% prefer silent. All airlines, all lounges.
Agree - issues with lounge announcements for “now boarding” (arrive at gate: boarding not under way) or missed announcements (people don’t follow the boards and the staff forget to announce then suddenly it’s final call).
That is not uniformly true. There are airports (esp. in the Middle East) where you can't. Even if you can, I've flown on over 50 airlines. I don't want 50 extra apps on my phone and they wouldn't fit anyhow.With most (all) airlines and airports now using apps, I would prefer phone based notifications. It is easy to connect to the free airport wifi, even if not in a lounge or travelling in a premium class.

The problem I find with many announcements is that they are often muffled, hard to decipher and the more there are, well, the more I tend to miss (ignore).
Quiet airports would be a winner for me.
Now, if airports could change their lighting to something less theme park, that would be another sensory improvement.
