Explanation:
The answer is: to help the reader understand the kinds of noises that exist in the novel’s setting.
"The Awakening," by Kate Chopin, begins with a description of the place in New Orleans where the Pontelliers are spending their summer holidays. Thus, the author chooses to depict the loud sounds taking place there, such as the girls playing the piano and Madame Lebrun speaking in a strident voice. As a result, that setting makes Leonce retire to his cottage and watch his wife and son who are on the beach.
