Ambient noise kettle

 Trade speed for noise

In my experience, fast kettles are loud and quiet kettles are slow. How about a kettle that senses the ambient noise in the room with a small microphone and adjusts the boiling speed so that the sound of the kettle suits the time of day.

"Express boil" button is, of course, a must.
