Stan 386 Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 A Former BBC Radio Nottingham presenter has told how passengers prayed during a mid-air emergency on a Majorca-bound jet. Graham Percy, 61, said there was total silence at first when there was a loud band and the Boeing 757 suddenly lost height. I know how he feels with all of this horrible so called music ,today!

Regarding load music I hate it especially in pubs. Will the youth of today be as deaf as I am tomorrow? In my formative years I listened to music through headphones, only because my taste in music wasn’t compatible with my wife’s tastes, therefore the only way I could hear the type of music I liked while she was in and in the same room as myself I used head shells. Now the formative years have flown by and the hatchlings have too I find myself slightly deaf. I put my hard of hearing down to all those years I spent listening to thunderous music, at the time though, I never considered the damage the headphones and loud music were doing me, and I suppose the younger generation don’t either. It seems no matter where one goes these days, in shops on the bus to the dentist and even to the toilet or standing in the queue for me kebab three out of four young people have some sort of device sticking into their ears, pumping out strident music. I listened to music for only a couple of hours a week through headphones, it seem to me though that the younger people of today have earpieces in 24/7, god knows what damage their ears will suffer latter in life if not already. All one hears, as a nonconformist to modern day trends and a love of nature’s own sounds is a high-pitched hiss and the odd word. I believe we have several DJs or should I say one real one and one that’s played being one, on the Forums. No offence intended Mick. So DJs are you as deaf as I am through wearing headphones? Sorry could you repeat that I’m mutton jeff! Bip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Well I personally can say I don't have hearing problems even after 4 years on the Ibiza scene wearing cans a lot of the time but I used to slip out of them as quick as possible between tracks ( to Gauge the crowds responce to the CHOOOOONE I was playing more than anything) but it was always loud any way without them on What gets me more than anything these days its that when you here the opening riff to a much beloved CHOOOOONE and it turns out to be another cr*p remix I swear my youngest could do better (and he has only just turned one) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bip 88 Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 In the Hop Pole last night, the music was at a level that was just audible but the crowd at the next table all twelve of them made up for the lack of decibels coming out of the speakers.. If you were working in a closed environment with that amount of noise you would have had to wear ear defenders, just to protect oneself from the intensity of noise that was coming from the load mouths within that company. One woman’s laugh in particular was so loud I reckon she could have shattered glass at fifty paces, makes me wonder if her mum ever slapped her for being so loud, obviously not by the scream of a laugh she had. The men were as bad; they too couldn’t say anything without shouting. It was like as if they were in competition with each other vying for one another’s attention and approval, bit like a pack of wolves barking at the pack leader to see which one of them gets a bite of the carcass next. At times I couldn’t hear myself think and to try to hold a conversation with my mate and his wife was out of the question. Ok we could have moved into the other bar but my mate smokes and one’s not allowed to smoke in the other side. Luckily we didn’t have to stomach the noise for long because they left within twenty minutes of us getting there, thank the lord for that, if I had to listen to that all night I would have been even deafer at the end of the night than I was at the beginning.

Stan 386 Posted June 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 ...and how about this? Three Poles were attacked by neighbours carrying a baseball bat and a screwdriver in a dispute about loud music. Andrew Hogg, 32, his brother-in-law Nigel Doyle, 41, and a girl who cannot be named for legal reasons, became angry at loud music being played into the night by their Polish neighbours in Wilford Crescent East, The Meadows. Nottingham Crown Court heard the girl grabbed a baseball bat and Hogg went back to his nearby home in Mundella Road to arm himself with a screwdriver on December 3 last year. O.K. they should not have annoyed their neighbours,but where were the police in all this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
