For people who don't want to hear it, music is indeed as much an
obnoxious assault as those squeegee kids (or their older counterparts).
Think of the assault on our ears by the muzak systems in supermarkets,
hotel lobbies, elevators, telephone answering systems and elsewhere.
A classical violinists playing live in a non-musical location or in a
location where one doesn't really want to be hearing music is just as
obnoxious to some people.
To me, when I visited in Spain, the difference was amplification. That
made it unwelcome. I like good acoustic music outdoors in most
situations, but the over-amped music from the other end of a plaza was
annoying.
