WallBuilder Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Lots of pubs now seem to find it necessary to play music at ear shattering volumes which I personally hate but then in pubs that cater to the younger age range it's probably a good idea as they seem to lack conversational skills and sound as thick as piggy poo. Or maybe that's just me generalising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2c4s Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Just thought I'd make this post after another night of ringing ears. Don't want to put any names into your heads, but I find my ears are increasingly ring'y after nights out in certain venues. A friend, who worked mangement in a Sheffield bar, told me they turn the music up, so people talk less and feel uncomfortable. This results in them drinking more. Quite simple logic he said. I go out alot, and I've noticed certain bars getting louder and louder and louder. Some are pretty unbareable. I'm more than up for partying when I go out, but I find having a conversation is just not worth the effort involved in SHOUTING. Even the smaller bars now are getting too loud, especially on a Friday and Saturday. MATRIX bar, is one i'd like to point out as being *the* loudest bar I have EVER EVER been in. On a "quiet", empty midweek night I swear if you listen carefully enough you can just about hear the DJ in Crooks Some clubs are worse than others too. Maybe I just have sensitive ears! Anyone else think of any clubs/bars that need to be told to keep it down abit.. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I dont mind loud music if I go to a club to dance - in fact that why you're there - and a decent system should leave you with ringing ears - but I really object to loud music in pubs or bars!

mr.blaze Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Your just getting old hehe. But to be honest I don't even walk into places that you can't hear someone without a megaphone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swan_Vesta Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 This is a good thread. I finally feel absolved of the title "Old Fart" - And I'm only 28!! - I've refused to go to some of the places in town where they've got music so loud it shakes your fillings out and have suggested a quiet pub where they keep a good pint and you can have a chat. This undeserved title was earned one night in old corp where I spent the majority of the evening in the chill out room and on the sofas opposite the bogs nattering away punctuated by the occasional mosh. A bit of balance is always needed, quiet for people like us and blaring, unrestrained volume for thems that want a boogie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phanerothyme Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Yes, it's all true. Espcecially with the reasoning behind getting people to drink more. Like free peanuts, or turning the heating up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 And a lot of these 'trendy bars' and pubs insist on making you queue (fire regs reasons fine but they're not all doing it for that)before you can get in - only to then find you can't hear yourself think!!??!!
