Unhappy Town square music too loud

Does anyone else feel the music in the town squares is too loud? Louder is not better! My husband and I were walking around Sumter Landing last night (and this has occurred at ALL of the town squares) and the music was so loud we had to leave. My husband approached the man in the sound booth and asked why the music was so loud and the man said "I'm sorry, I can't hear you"....my husband said "precisely the issue". We used to enjoy going to the town squares each night, but even when we sit across the street, it's so loud we can't even talk to each other.

Lots of people are hearing-impaired in this retirement community.
I wear ear plugs in movies as I find them too loud.

Yes it's too loud. Having an audience where many are hearing impaired is no excuse. Make a formal complaint.

There was another thread sometime in the past, that the sound was not loud enough. Different strokes for different folks.

It is a conspiracy. I heard from the bartender that this is happening in order to further damage people's hearing and it is paid for by all of the Hearing Aid vendors in TV.

My rumor. My rules. My bartender.

I am not attempting to bash anyone....,but, I like it loud. I sound much better singing to loud music.

We go to the squares at night for dancing and singing.

Last night, and many other times, we sat behind a group of 6 who talked constantly. As the music got louder, so did they. Go talk somewhere else.....my opinion....they were rude.....front row seats holding conversations......I came to hear the music, not you.... (added.....I came to hear music....not your past cruise trip...or your grandkids vacation......)


If I need to to talk to someone, I whisper in there ear.....works for me....

Sounds like some are just getting older faster than others.

I might gently point out the others at the square most certainly did not go there to hear YOU singing They came perhaps to hear the musicians not YOU. If you need to sing to someone perhaps you should whisper sing in there [sic] ear. Go sing somewhere else unless the actual musicians invite you to join in a sing-along. Perhaps the sound man is cranking it up to obscure your cacophonous intrusion.

Ok, maybe that wasn't gentle and if your post misleadingly lead me to a wrong conclusion that you are one of those people, I'll delete

Sometimes there are so many side conversations going on during a performance that a higher volume is necessary.

I sure hope you are not successful in getting it lowered. Classic Rock (which much of the entertainment is) is better loud. If you find it bothersome, I would suggest you not walk there.

Turn it up. Always quiet places out in the woods. Don't complain about music in The squares and stop complaining about people drinking in bars.

You know, people buy a house near an airport..then complain...Buy a house near a pickle ball court, then complain...At least you can walk away, avoid this irritation during loud music time,...and not not ruin it for the majority...
