Some rooms in a house are meant for noise. If a play room or play ground is quiet, we know there are either no children around or something is terribly wrong. Other rooms are made for a different kind of noise. Imagine a kitchen with all paper utensils. How can you stir soup with a paper spoon or turn over a frying egg with a paper spatula? How about a bathroom with no running water, broken pipes and a whole in the outside wall. Sound inviting?
Few rooms are meant for silence. The healthiest sleep occurs in a dark and quiet room. Without proper sleep, over time a person will become ill. There is a rare disease in which a person becomes unable to sleep. Eventually delusions set in and finally death.
As spiritual house, we need to recognize there are differing personalities (rooms) made for different functions. The shiest person in your congregation is as important as the person with the booming personality.
