A foreman in Detroit told me 'a good weld is a quiet weld' and I think that's flat out wrong.
We were on a big pressure vessel job and he kept telling the new guys to go slow and smooth, no spatter. But on the next shift, I saw a guy using a hotter, faster technique that passed every single X-ray and saved half a day. Anyone else find the old rules don't always hold up?

That foreman would probably tell me my lawn mower is too loud. Sometimes getting the job done right means a little noise and a lot less time.

My old neighbor had a noise rule for weekends after 10 AM. The foreman's complaint might actually be about timing, not the volume itself. Getting it done fast is fine, but maybe check if you're starting too early.
