So what the hell are the benefits of being in The Zone anyway?

These results appear inconclusive at best. Difference is minimal, therefore likely not significant. Can not reject null hypothesis of no apparent difference. My view would be that the zone remains, by and large, useless.
Difference is minimal, but present. I repeated the test, this time doing two paintings in a row, and pausing as soon as the "painting complete" dialog was displayed.

I did three runs of each zoned and non-zoned. I layered the screenshots in Photoshop, setting all but the bottom layer to 25% opacity. This shows that each motive dropped to the same point in each of the three runs, with the exception of environment, which was effected by day/night. (Note the faint, secondary black line on the environment bars.) Season was fall for each run, to avoid seasonal motive changes.
Being in the zone does slow motive drain, but again, its not by much.

Sims being in the "zone" doesn't seem to be of any great benefit to make it worthwhile for me.
I find the sound so annoying with the constant repetition. I lower the hobby gains to stop it. Is there any hack/mod that puts a stop to that irritating sound? Would be so very gratefull to get one.

Thank you gynarchy! I take regular strolls through the Peasantry and I don't know how I could have missed it. This is going to save my sanity!
