Cartoon about a guy who is told by his doctor to get absolute quiet. Best scene I remember is he checks into a quiet hotel in the Swiss alps, and when he rings the counter bell, it puts up a card that says "ding" instead of ringing. When he goes up to his room, somewhere there is a man & woman playing loud instruments, one maybe a saxophone.
That's all I remember, besides it being very funny. The central character was not any of the usual suspects, just a shmoe.
Saw in the 50s/60s, so prob made in 40s? (Canada)

One of the last cartoons made by Fred "Tex" Avery while at Walter Lantz Studios, this is "Sh-h-h-h-h-h!" from 1955. A nervous man visits his psychiatrist, and is advised to take a rest away from the bustle and noise. The man goes to a resort, where he tries to take a nap, but a couple in the next room insist on playing a trombone and laughing like hyenas. The man loses his mind completely, while the couple in the next room are revealed to be the psychiatrist and his nurse. More specifics are here: SH-H-H-H-H-H (1955) - Foolish Fables Theatrical Cartoon Series.
