Most clubs get checked by a health and safety warden. If they are in breach of the dB limit they can get shut down or heavily fined. Maybe some clubs wing it, but most "nightclubs" have built in Limiters that limit the volume to a reasonable level that the human ear can withstand for a certain amount of hours.

In terms of bass...its easy to just turn down the tops and mids boxes and just crank the subs for bass... if thats all you want? :pac: My fav soundsytems are prob the L Acoustics rigs they have in Whelans and Button Fac. Not too harsh on your ears and can crank the crap outta em:cool:

So says Mr. Dublin-centric.

I'm only 20 and i think there too loud :rolleyes:

Epic Tissue · 22-08-2009 12:26AM

Clubs need to be less loud around the seating areas. They seem ok on the dancefloor. They need better lights.

blankblank · 22-08-2009 12:30AM

are nightclubs too loud??

Hmmm i tink the real question you should ask yourself is are your ears too sensitive?

Sarn · 22-08-2009 01:04AM

This is what is needed in clubs.

Directional audio

You can enjoy the loud music when you're on the dancefloor, step out of the beam and you can have a conversation or listen to a totally different type of music. The best of both worlds.

blankblank · 22-08-2009 01:06AM

Ive heard of that stuff before, o you could try one of those "silent discos" they used to have in savoy in cork last year.
Everyone is given headphones at the door and when you wanna hear music you put em on and dance away and when you want silence you simply take em off.
twas very interestin to see ppl dancing around while you stand dere in silence!!

DigiGal · 22-08-2009 02:06AM

I wear ear plugs...:) very uncool

Piste · 22-08-2009 02:08AM

I'm 18 and I think they're too loud, it's impossible to have a chat.

Yeah because the coolest thing in the world is to get the head blasted off ya, stand in the corner getting langers until ya have enough dutch courage to not care about making a tit of yourself on the dancefloor, and then vaguely try to chance every bird in a 6 foot radius. :rolleyes:

Jaysus, in this day and age, it is actually possible to set the amps at different levels, i.e. quiet around the dancefloor and loud on it, t'aint rocket science! Im not mad about night clubs, their dwellers and the associated music, but even if im in a place with my type of music, if its blastin it still does my t1ts in and is absolutely unnecessary.

You get quite good at lipreading and also in clubs there are generally no speakers at the bar

I actually often find it easier to take an order from someone 10 feet away by reading their lips than from some muppet shouting in my ear.. Of course in either case you'll end up with dickheads talking through their hands or ordering while talking to someone else.

If you want a chat go to a pub. People know nightclubs will be loud, if you dont like it loud then avoid niteclubs, you can usually hear the music well away from the door so your warned in advance I just dont see why people would go in if their going to whinge about it being too loud. Loud goes hand in hand with Nite clubs.

Rebelheart · 22-08-2009 11:56AM

Yes, yes and yes again.

But for that matter, most pubs are too loud with blaring soccer matches, or music or, more usually, both on at the one time. The more noise, the more we drink, apparently. Such is the patronising logic.

Nothing like a good chat over a pint where you can hear the person and they can hear you. Simple, but very rare.

Well ive not been to a night club in donkey's years, so im far from whinging, but would it not make more sense for everyone to have a quiet seating area and a loud dancefloor?

Think about it, the sh1t cool people like yourself get to have the music blasting around the dancefloor, the obviously dull and boring people like me get to sit around and have a chat, and the nightclub get more people in (read:more money)

What's the problem like?

Deffo agree with ya there, fcukin tellys and jukeboxes blarin everywhere ya go. I honestly dont get the attraction (and never did past about the age of 16) of goin to any place with your mates, and being drowned out by inane music so loud that ya cant hear yourself think, dont mind what anyone else is saying. But i suppose its just one more thing on the list of sh1t that we all just tolerate and dont complain enough about, and so nothing ever happens to change it. C'est la vie!

abouttobebanned · 22-08-2009 01:19PM

It's all gonna change soon...new health and safety guidelines means that clubs will have to remain within a certain decibel level. They will all have to be fitted with sound limiters.

Lets just agree to differ.

Cuddlesworth · 22-08-2009 02:21PM

Volume seems to be proportional to the quality of the music.

Fair enough, but do ya see anything wrong with my plan? I understand that nightclubs are loud, that's why i actually cant remember when the last time i went to one was, but whats the problem with loud/quiet areas? I know for a fact that it's technically possible, in fact, its pretty much technically trivial.

fyp!

Well I dont suppose there would be a problem with what your suggesting but I suppose the noise doesnt bother me, probably just because Im used to it really. It wouldnt bother me if what your suggesting was put into play, I suppose the problem I have is people just complaining about them being too loud as the norm is that most nightclubs are loud and to me its like going to kfc and complaining about all the chicken on the menu. But I can see where your coming from.

The less you talk, the more you drink.
