Just the opposite, I think.

In Lojban with lots of type 3 fu'ivla, they know that in all likelihood 
that you are talking about some kind of language.  In many instances, 
the most critical information is that it is some kind of language, in 
others perhaps, context makes it clear that a language is being referred 
to and the bang- part is perhaps superfluous, but serves the cause of 
linguistic redundancy, something Lojban is often criticized as lacking, 
but is especially applicable to your noisy room problem.
