No, it certainly does happen. I used to work on the train, and needed
some quiet.

After a few times of having to move away from the "quiet" coach for
some quiet I realised that all those people who are listening to their
walkman may be leaking "tsss tsss tsss" noises, but they aren't having
noisy conversations with one another.

And of course, if lots of people are talking, you have to talk louder
to be heard, and so on, till the quiet coach is a deafening hubbub.
