English term or phrase: Everything speaks
THis is a Powerpoint presentation about patient experiences at the eye doctor's. What the speaker is trying to say is that everything from the exam room, to the dispensary, to the reception desk leaves an impression on the patient. Service, layout, etc. I am looking for a French expression that would convey this. Thank you.

Merci. Je préfère cette expression à l'autre qui dit : tout leur parle, que je considère trop calquée sur l'anglais.

Another suggestion.

It usually is used to convey the idea that something is obvious, however it can be used to say something leaves an impression aswell.
