I saw this and found it appropriate for holy week- Last week during Palm Sunday- the noise was so loud that I could not hear the readings or the homily.

There must be a special place in purgatory for those who stick gum underneath the pew.

LOL! When we were building our church in the mid 80s, we acquired a number of pews from an old Baptist church that was being remodeled. These were, I believe, 50s-era pews (blond oak, green naugahyde), so they'd had several decades to collect gum -- and there was plenty of it, very old and very hard!
