Maybe it's that a boombox playing music is more social and open, whereas what someone does with their phone is typically meant to be private, but some people play their music or w/e noise out loud from it as if only they can hear their phone and you're just supposed to pretend they aren't overstepping boundaries.

I think it's a mindset thing. A boombox means you're thinking about an audience. Consideration is implicit.
