No! Complain right here! I think that's what this site is for. Your other choice would be to go into the sound booth and set the volume where you want it.... and then rip the knobs off the equipment.

The loudness of the music at the squares has never bothered me.

I never go! Who wants to fight with people who save seats??!?

I am happy to see the vast majority says turn it up even louder. I seriously can't imagine the music in any od the squares being lowered.

Some things in life are not meant to be low in volume -- a squalling baby, a fighting couple, a jet taking off, a sonic boom, rock music, a happy toddler, a cheering football fan. To complain about those sounds is not just an act of futility but is this side of curmudgeonly. Kick back, relax and go with the flow.

So, people move close to Town Squares so they can be around the excitement and the noise is too loud?

So, they move their for the excitement then decide the exciting music is too loud.

I wear ear plugs in movies as I find them too loud.

Earplugs also utilized by me at most movies here. Most recently, even with earplugs used, my ears were ringing after viewing "Dunkirk. " Those disturbing decibels can be damaging.

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.

Well, after all, every one has a right to destroy their hearing and/or turnoff the hearing aid, Right?

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

If thats your feeling about the nightly music , you might want to stay at home, because, I AM NOT the only one out there singing along with the band......there's 100's of us...singing, dancing and having the time of our lives.......
I sing everywhere.....shower, car and the squares..... and I love my cacophonous intrusions......

and might I add.....very harsh reply to a generally passive comment.....
