   I would accept that she could turn it on/off as she required .... else   
   she would have been driven loco with all the incessant noise.   
      
   HOW she learned to turn it off would be another discussion. Maybe Beta   
   zed's are born with the ability turned OFF and have to learn how to turn   
   it ON!!
