Why do people blast their music so loudly . . . are they deaf??

I'm sure they think loud music is fun and exciting! But it's not so fun and exciting for the people who don't want to hear it . . . they must not see the rest of us covering up our ears!! Maybe it's a way to drown themselves - kind of like a drug to make them feel better!

I can understand that you enjoy loud music, but why is it a preference? I just know that it does damage your ears eventually - and then you just have to make the volumn louder and louder as your ears get more damaged. You may not worry about what others think, but would you worry that one day you may not hear so well?

That is true! When the music is super loud, the vibration from it makes your body bounce around on it's own - hee hee. Yah, it could be like being at a live music event . . . I know I've been to concerts near the speakers where it's super loud. But I got ringing in my ears afterwards . . . I hated that part!

Well, rock on! I know I've been to some concerts and it actually hurt to have my eardrums be worked to the max . . . maybe it's a tolerance thing. I'm thinking it'll go the opposite way for people like you who love loud music . . . music will get less louder because your ears are going out!

I will be rocking till the day I die and then some

I like my music loud but I would never annoy other people with it though, as I do respect my neighbors, that is why I like live gigs so much as everyone there is there for the same reason.

You have a good point there with the music getting quieter due to the ears not working as well but I will take my chances

That is true . . . there is a time and place for loud music - and concerts are one of them! How considerate of you - hee hee!

I do try my best as I know everyone is not into loud metal music

Oh, I'm sure they enjoy music when it's played loudly. Maybe it's relaxing to them because of the sound makes their entire body vibrate - almost like a massage - ha ha. And maybe it's fun at a party so they don't have to engage in conversations - no one can hear each other!! I have no doubt they're messing up their ears if they are doing it regularly!

Yah, that's true. BOOM BOOM BOOM! I particularly don't like it when it's the car next to me on the street . . . I can literally feel the boom boom boom and this is with all windows closed! It drives me nuts if people are doing it in the houses late at night - that's not being considerate to their neighbors at all!! One day they will go deaf and hear nothing!

Yep - and isn't that a crazy way to get attention? Ok, we hear your loud music . . . ok, ok! How does it seem cool when the rest of us think it's annoying? I really don't get the ones who do it while driving . . . is the road really that boring without loud music? Decent guys don't do it because they want to preserve their hearing!!

Noise, that's a good word for it - ha ha! Yes, it's almost like a drug - where they can immerse themselves into the loud music and just be stress free for the moment. But it does irritate and annoy the rest of us! I like my ears too - and don't feel like damaging them!

Ah yes, I know that scenario all too well! It seems like it happens every time I am on the road - it's crazy! Sometimes the noise isn't even coming from the car next to us . . . it's the car a few cars down from us - and it's so loud that it feels like a car that should be next to us. You're right - they wouldn't be able to hear any ambulance or fire truck sirens . . . it's an accident waiting to happen!

Yes, that's so very true! They have to continually make the volumn louder so they can keep hearing the music as loudly as they like it (when in fact they are getting deafer by the day). Many of these loud music lovers, I'm sure, will become hard of hearing if not totally deaf someday . . . and ha ha, yes, sign language schools will benefit from it!!
