Why is the music in some pubs niteclubs so LOUD FFS

SIX PACK

Now i dont want to be going on like a party pooper but i was out last nite for RAG week with a few friends & we went into Scraggs for a few but i just had to leave after 20mins couldn't hear myself speak the place was jammers music was possibly the loudest iv ever heard (im 26yrs). .(i have been to my fair few Concerts)
They use the same kind of speakers ud find in the O2 arena So when 1 puts speakers in a small area & cranks it up to probably 120 decibels if your head doesn't explode your ears will.
I used to work with a DJ from London & he had fairly bad hearing problems at 34
Is their any law in Ireland as to how loud a Public House can play music :rolleyes: ?

It's called 'getting old'. Get used to it.

They want you to shut up and drink.

It's so the OAP's can hear - taking all them yokes affects their hearing sometimes

There's prolly a button on some of the equipment and highers and lowers the volume

You can report them for this, something about being over a certain number of decibles. Was in a club in cork one night and music so loud that it caused vibrations so bad the drinks were moving across the table:D

yes there are regulations... you can take the issue up with your county council...

the vibrations would be bass levels more so then overall volume...

Wouldn't be so bad if the typical commercial club didn't spin such diabolic music from woeful soundsystems.

An onslaught of appalling chart ****e from suped-up Fisher Price cassette players is just an assault on my senses and sensibilities.

My Eardrums are still ringing . . . Yea i will bring it to the attention of the County Council because i feel so strong about this issue.
Whether they will act on it is a different story,

Have to say one club i went to recently that seem to have it sorted is the Palace. It's loud where you want it to be ie. the dancefloor area, but if you want to chat with your mates you can go to the far end and it's quiet enough that you don't have to shout into each other ears.

Indie music is a load of broccolis.

Sit me down to Lyric FM anyday and I am happy.

It's loud so we can chat people up without actually making proper conversation.

'HI!'

'HI, WHATS YOUR NAME?'

'CABINTEELY'

'NO, WHAT'S YOUR NAME?'

'I THINK IT WAS YESTERDAY'

/Dance, kiss, drink, kiss, grope, casual sex in toilets.

This is one of the main reasons I don't go out much. My ears are very sensitive to background noise, I can barely work out two people talking at once or hearing someone over heavy traffic, let alone over loud music in a pub or club.

Pub should have moderate music, not too loud so you cant have the craic with the lads. Bit of banter. Best way to get pissed.

You getting old my friend? ya I get what you mean, just don't stand too close to the speakers/DJ. Just enjoy the music!? Maybe stay in the smoking area or bar for the night!

ICE HOUSE

Welcome to the club its called getting old.

Whatever about nightclubs, I don't get why pubs have DJ's-It usually kills the flow of conversation dead. I go to the pub to chat and have the craic, not listen to Rubberbandits twenty times in a row.

Someone fetch my pipe and werther's originals. I intend to write a cross letter to the Daily Mail.

Ah yes, nothing beats the old nod your head, laugh and hope they just cracked a joke or you'll look like a right spa.

I usually head straight to the smoking area.

The loudest thing there is usually me.

So you will drink (spend) more.

In a nightclub? It's a bit radical, don't you think?
