It's worse on XBone due to everyone having Kinect (well, most everyone, as the Kinect-less SKU is still pretty new) combined with the fact that it's turned on by default for voice chat in most games. Almost every Forza 5 lobby I get into has someone drowning the room in noise because their kid's screaming, or they're apparently having a party, or someone's vacuuming. At least muting them is quick, but it's still irritating.

It still blows my mind someone at Microsoft thought this was a good idea, and everyone else agreed and rolled with it.

That sounds like hell. I'm so glad there's a Kinect-less model available for whenever I look into getting the Halo anniversary collection.
