"I left the house due to it(s) being too loud."
I am just wondering if "it" should be possessive in this case. It seems there are many conflicting opinions about this point, and many threads have been made about it. Some argue that it is more formal, others that it depends on the context, and still others that it is only correct to use the possessive.
In this example, which is preferable? I think either works and that it makes no difference, so I'd likely exclude it, as it sounds better that way, I think.
