I'm not usually one to yuck others' yums, especially at raves, but seeing people dance right up against the speaker stacks at parties always makes me chuckle. You're not really getting any benefit by being that close - while PA rigs and the kind of big Jamaican soundsystems that you experience at those kinds of parties are designed to have fairly wide dispersal, they definitely still have a 'sweet spot' and it's definitely not right in front of the speaker. There's some conjecture about this but bass waves also take distance to develop, so by standing right in front of the stacks you're not even really feeling that bass more than someone standing 20 feet away.

I once watched in horror a dude press his ear against a tweeter during a guitar solo on a metal gig. He was probably feeling something the next day.

I have a deaf friend who says she can "hear" the music when she stands right up against the drivers at raves and concerts so there's that.

Edit: I don't mean she's hearing impaired. She's deaf and has been from a very early age, but loves going to concerts. She likes heavy rock.

There are bands like Sunn O))) who play so low and so loud that you can feel your entire body vibrate to the droning bass. I can imagine someone deaf getting a lot out of that.

I'm generally not a big fan of German singer Herbert Grönemeyer, but he has a couple of songs with great lyrics:


Herbert Grönemeyer, Musik nur wenn sie laut ist (excerpt)

Sie sitzt den ganzen Tag auf ihrer Fensterbank
Lässt ihre Beine baumeln zur Musik
Der Lärm aus ihrem Zimmer macht alle Nachbarn krank
Sie ist beseelt, lächelt vergnügt
Sie weiß nicht, dass der Schnee lautlos auf die Erde fällt
Merkt nichts vom Klopfen an der Wand
Sie mag Musik nur, wenn sie laut ist
Das ist alles, was sie hört
Sie mag Musik nur, wenn sie laut ist
Wenn sie ihr in den Magen fährt
Sie mag Musik nur, wenn sie laut ist
Wenn der Boden unter den Füßen bebt
Dann vergisst sie, dass sie taub ist


(She sits on her windowsill all day
Dangling her legs to the music
The noise from her room makes all the neighbors sick
She is inspired, smiles happily
She doesn't know that the snow falls silently to the ground
Doesn't notice the knocking on the wall
She only likes music when it's loud
That's all she hears
She only likes music when it's loud
When it hits her in the stomach
She only likes music when it's loud
When the ground trembles under your feet
Then she forgets that she is deaf)

My buddy went to RIT (big deaf population) in late 90s/early 00s and he said all deaf people listen to dnb.

I allowed Chrome to auto-translate the German in this and the result was almost word for word identical to the English here, with only a couple of small deviations. Impressive and a little unnerving

Here in Philly there's a unitarian church that hosted a lot of punk and metal shows in their basement. Sunn O))) came to town and got permission to play in the sanctuary instead. It was so loud it exploded one of the stained glass windows.
