So that "hook and loop" closure stuff popularized by Velcro is everywhere now. It's very handy; I especially like the way it's used on my gloves. However, there are times when I need to open something secured with it and am faced with a dilemma.

Do you rip it open quick? It makes way too much noise, but it's over quickly.

Or do you open it slowly? It makes less racket, but over a much longer period of time.
