Girl Anachronism Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 It depends on the venue and where you're standing/seated, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arod77 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 medium-loud. closer to the higher end, but not deafening. Don't they play at like 75-80 db? The loudest show ive' ever been to pushed 95 db Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furygirl Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Wasn't 85 db the limit Teignmouth had set for that gig and the band was kinda miffed about it because it's not that loud? I think they ended up going above that. Edit: Actually Teignmouth limit was supposed to be 84.1, so I'd imagine that's pretty tame. And because I'm bored: http://www.asha.org/public/hearing/disorders/noise.htm See chart at bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arod77 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 thing about dB is that its exponential. 80 to 90 might not sound like a huge difference on paper but in percieved volume it is huge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lily93 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 85dB can cause hearing damage after a certain amount of time, and every 3 dB (double SPL) will decrease that time by half. If you're worried it's too loud get some DECENT earplugs which filter the sound, they are designed to cut the sound pressure on your ears and not muffle the sound like having cloth in them or something.

halo eighteen Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 No idea what their current setup is like, but shows in 2004-2005 were LOUD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo0by Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Buy some Etymotic ER20s. Not too expensive and offer adiquate protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OriginOfStarlight Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 blow your ears out, but not because it's loud Quoted for the truth. To answer your question: I was very close to the stage and it wasn't as loud as I expected. So you shouldn't be worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgoreck Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 SPL drops -6dB for doubling your distance. Makes no sense of having a limit of 85dB at the Teignmouth show. That is all relative to where you are vs the speaker array. If the speaker array was to put out 112dB (which would be low), then @ 2m you would get 100dB (1m would be 106dB), @ 4m you would have 97db, by 32m you be 72dB. That's not that far of a distance, considering a football field is what around 100m? mmm Physics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the limit at Teignmouth was 85db at a certain distance (that I don't know of) so that it didn't exceed a certain volume at the nearest houses.

haze015 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 All outdoor events will have a volume limit so it doesn't bother anyone living nearby too much. As for how much it drops by over distance, low frequencies will travel much further than high frequencies, it's not a constant that applies to all sound. Unless we're talking about RMS here, which would make more sense. Muse gigs aren't too loud, wouldn't necessarily require earplugs. My Bloody Valentine a couple of years ago though...

tinman Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 The last show I went to (o2 arena) was pretty quiet and I was right at the barrier. Marley Park was probably the loudest gig i've been to of theres I was in the D, the sound was perfect. Very beefy but never so loud that I wanted to cover my ears. In my experience you won't need earplugs for thier gigs but perhaps you should invest in some just incase you have particularly sensitive ears.

If you wish to fully enjoy concerts 10 years from now.... ...not to change topic, but I would be more worried about people and their headphones, like those whom you ride the subway/buss/tube with and can hear them from across the car. Wish I had earplugs at Them Crooked Vultures the other week, that was ridiculously loud for such a small venue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haze015 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Sorry, but how do you want to fully enjoy the gig with earplugs? It doesn't make much difference actually. You still feel the bass exactly the same, just you don't go home with your ears ringing. If you think not wearing earplugs makes you enjoy a gig more, then say goodbye to your hearing the moment you start going to louder shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PwoperMuser Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I never found it particularly loud, but I wasn't near any of the speakers. And I guess I'm also a hardcore gig-goer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to hear the nuances in the music - I don't think you get that if they just go for loud but maybe I'm wrong. So far I have taken earplugs but haven't had to use them yet... though maybe should have when I was next to the speaker... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatlesmaniac98 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Sorry, but how do you want to fully enjoy the gig with earplugs? depends...if the sound is really loud...ear plugs will make it sound at a rate which wont leave you deaf.... if its low then people will just tell you your a queer for bringing ear plugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loud and dynamic are two different things. I think your referring to the music being highly compressed, so all of it is loud. The show/band sounded awesome, and you could definatley hear the dynamics/nuances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
