oy my god1 does anyone think conserts are really, really loud? because i've kind of been to one at school, and it was to loud for me, and a friend told me that conserts are louder than that.
you see, if it is really loud, if you are totally blind, it could dammage your hearing. hearing is a blind person's only propper access to information, except for reading, of corse.
come on, please post to this.
I have been listening to a concert outside the hall. That is a good solution. It is loud enough, all concerts are, so that you could stand or sit in front of the hall and still isten to it without paying anything. I think they are very loud indeed, but they have to be, because all the crazy fans ... they would be louder than the actual band if concerts weren't loud.
Kind of been? how is that possible ..and as for the volume issue, what else did you expect at a gig, peace and quiet?..I have seen Marilyn Manson live 6 times and I knew they would be loud and I was not disappointed.
They are very loud, but you get used to it. Of course, it does damage your hearing if you go to a lot over many years, but it doesn't do any more damage than people who go around listening to IPods all the time or some other device where they have ear plugs in their ears all day long.
That is write, what did you expect? I mean, there are classical concerts if you don't want it to be that noisy. If you want to do something against a hearing dammage so urgently but still want to see a concert, then go and listen to classic. Hahaha. All the other concerts will be too loud for you then probably.
It's far too late at night, and I'm far too tired to actually look up figures to back this up, but most of the studies I've read conclude that listening to loud music, specifically rock concerts, won't significantly damage hearing. Music can be a problem at closer quarters, such as for the band members, which is why a lot of percussionists and guitar players where ear-plugs. There's evidence now that the constant use of headphones can be damaging. But the more common offender is still heavy machinery noise, where a worker is subjected to loud noise of the same frequency for hours every day over an extended period. The occasional rock concert won't do a lot of damage.
i've been to heeps of concerts and i've always sort front row seats. I've been to festivals wich is basically one act after another and if you want to get out of the tent you hae no hope whatsoever. Rock and blues concerts can be loud, but it's not like most people in the world will get to go to them all the time so where's the use in complaining, if you don't like it, don't go. simple.
I totally agree with Erin and Lui.
i don't agree. but hey! maybe i shout get a life! lol
I've seen everybody from Dream Theater and Steve Vai to the Rolling stones and the Hampsters etc. I've also played in four bands myself. i have also been to many orchestral performances and the decibal level of a full orchestra is quite high! It's not strictly volume which damages hearing; it's bad frequency mix, the level of certain frequencies in the front of house mix etc. If you are concerned about the volume of a concert, you can get earplugs which are very cheap.
Hmm Classical can still be quite loud and as standing outside the hall, man after paying £30 for a ticket, I'm in the arena moshing until I'm dizzy.
At a lot of big metal gigs they actually sell the little disposable ear-plugs. Otherwise, maybe get some of your own? They're pretty cheap. Would look a bit odd at a classical concert though. *g*
Yes the illuminati might well be offended and wonder why, on earth you would pay to mute such beautiful music
