Yes, but in a city of almost 8 million people with sensationalist and ubiquitous trashy media, of course there are. It doesn't mean it's common or at all likely.

+1. I've heard people bitch about people saying hi to a friend, asking the librarian a question or asking someone to call them back later in a library and I really don't get this noise-fascism. If you really can't work with people rustling pages or coughing, just put on your headphones and block it out with music. You could even use earplugs.
Sure, people shouldn't be playing football, running around, having massive conversations or yelling in a library, but there's nothing wrong with a bit of noise above the silence.
However, talking in a movie is unforgivable for obvious reasons.
