There is a t-shirt that they sell at the Rock Hall in CLeveland.....If it’s too loud, you’re too old!

I don't believe it's the bands that are setting the level. It has gotten much louder over the years! And, no I don't wear a hearing aid! :-)

I have logged decades of listening to loud music as a disk jockey. It has done its damage, and I have significant hearing loss because of all those on air hours. Over time it does real harm. Now I need $5000 hearing aids. I understand enjoying loud music occasionally, but I need to protect what hearing I have left. I spend little time in the square if the band is too loud. I’m waiting for an acoustic quartet without 10kw of audio. Just stay away from the square if the music is too loud, there are lots of things too do in the villages that don’t cause pain, and damage your hearing. Earplugs anyone?

I'm a future Villager and I go to a lot of concerts. My wife and I always have a pair of ear plugs with us. They make acoustic ear plugs specifically for concerts and you can get a nice pair for about $40. They let certain frequencies in more than others so you get a better audio listening experience from them than you would with foam. Sometimes we wear them, sometimes not. Sometimes I'll just wear one for an ear that faces a speaker tower, or I'll wear them only partially in if the music isn't super load or is just bass heavy.
If you're going to be around a lot of live music, keep a set with you (or in my case my wife's purse). We were just down there for another visit with my parents last weekend and got to see the Hooligans at Brownwood. One of my biggest concerns about getting to the Villages too early is my different taste in music than what I've seen at the squares. When I saw the Hooligans and the ginormous crowd completely digging the music I love, I just grinned and grinned and grinned. Can't wait to get there!

Carrying on a conversation while a band is playing is, IMHO, disrespectful to the musicians who have worked, and are working so hard to entertain you.

Starbucks (and other restaurants) are businesses across the street from and out of the "music area" where quite often people like to gather to drink coffee or have dinner and have a relaxed conversation with friends and family as are many other places outside of the entertainment area. So you are saying it is "disrespectful to the musicians" to go to a restaurant like Starbucks to sit outside in the square OUTSIDE the "music area" and have a conversation and you shouldn't go out to eat and sit outside (and often inside) on any ANY nice EVENING between 5 and 9 at any of the squares 7 nights a week just because you don't like loud music while you are trying to digest a meal and you shouldn't talk because you'd insult the musicians. NOW THAT is funny! Last edited by EdFNJ; 02-28-2020 at 09:40 PM. |

Maybe we should call OSHA?

Hmmm. I was at Lake Sumter a couple of weeks ago for the Spazmatics and I thought it wasn't loud *enough*!

Sometimes they play a song that we do not like and my wife and I like to say a few words to each other.
