Why is loud music dangerous?

Answer 1

Answer

Most people tend to dislike loud noises for any length of time especially when thay have no control over it. Playing loud music is also often considered to be rude, selfish and immature behaviour typical of 'brattish' teenagers rather than mature adults.

We may have eyelids, but sadly we don't have 'earlids'. This means that whenever someone plays loud music, whether it's Bach or Beyonce, Jungle or Jazz, everyone in the affected area has to listen to it, regardless of their own musical preferences or state of mind.

People who tend to crank up the radio in a home, apartment or driving have little regard for the people around them. They fail to realize or care that people around them may suffer from hypertension, migraines, or just don't want to listen to what's being forced upon them.

They may, for example, have decided that its their role to 'liven the place up a bit' (a trope often found in comedy films and TV shows), or feel a desire to demonstrate the kind of culture they belong to by playing their chosen music loudly. However the negative social consequences of this behaviour are more likely to alienate the perpetrator than endear them to their neighbours.

Worse still, walls, fences, trees and other obstacles 'soak up' the high frequencies in music, leaving the hapless victims of musical noise pollution subjected to the bassline of the music in question, which is often repetitive and musically uninteresting.

Being subjected to loud music can cause increase in blood pressure, affect concentration and cause a general increase in stress levels.

Answer 2

People enjoy loud music because if they crank up the volume they can listen to their favorite songs loud and clear, hearing every note and beat.

Another reason may be that they want other people to hear it as well. Playing loud music is a form of self-expression. It's a way of saying: 'this is the kind of music I like, this is the culture I'm a part of'.

One common reason for people to turn up their music so loud is so that they can drown out all the surrounding sounds around themselves, or so maybe they could disappear from the world. Another reason is because it could be calming to that person and may take away and problems or stress they may have.

Loud music can be cathartic, and it can also elicit a release of adrenaline.

Bars and pubs often play loud music so that people talk less and drink more. This can have negative effects on the health of young people (it can affect hearing later in life in addition to health problems arising from drinking too much), whilst at the same time depriving them of opportunities to hone their social skills.

Answer 3

Loud music (above 120 decibels) can harm your ears in many ways. It can give you loud, ringing noises, and cause death. That's why people can't be on run ways when planes or jets take off, and wear ear plugs while in helicopters (and the fact that the wind would flip them around like puppets).

Answer 4

Because in order to be a safe driver you need 100% concentration on driving. If you have a driving licence and have to ask this question you are an idiot. It's just common sense which you don't have.

Answer 5

Because loud music is one of those things a person did not invite into their ears. Why should anyone have to listen to loud music? It is an invasion of privacy.
