Live music (38%), a movie playing in surround sound in a theater (35%) and fans cheering at a sporting event (28%) are among the sounds Americans have missed hearing in person since the start of the pandemic, according to new research.

Two in three (67%) office workers would be willing to take a pay cut to have software and technology that’s twice as good as what they’re currently using, new research revealed.

The average American couple has six conversations each month while one of them is on the toilet, according to new research.
A new survey of 2,000 Americans, living with a partner since at least the start of quarantine, also probed the other toilet taboos that partners have broken during this time.
While 64% of respondents reported that moving in with their partner broke down many of the “bathroom boundaries” they’d had prior to cohabitating, the extra time spent at home together during lockdown may have all but eliminated them.
Commissioned by Natracare and conducted by OnePoll, the study revealed…

The survey also revealed that 89% of respondents have been trying to bring…
The average American will drive around for nine days with a warning light on before taking their vehicle in for servicing, according to new research.
The survey of 2,000 American drivers found that’s not the only questionable thing they’re doing when it comes to their vehicles — the average respondent drives 7,460 miles before changing their oil.
That’s more than 2,000 miles above the typically recommended distance of 5,000 miles.

Americans are putting off essential medical appointments, and it’s not just because of the coronavirus pandemic, according to a new survey.
In fact, more than three out of four respondents say they have delayed everything from annual physicals and blood pressure checks to urgent care for an illness or injury.
Sixty-one percent say that the time and effort it takes to visit a health care provider causes them to postpone getting the care they need, and 59% say that the cost of attending an in-person doctor’s appointment is what makes them delay.
Other reasons for postponing care include inconvenient…
