Yeah... some bars don't do their sound well either. Went to a very small bar to watch a show one time and for the size of the room the volume was far too high and I did not have earplugs. Made the poor decision of staying and getting too close to the speakers as well while taking photos.

Have some (very light) permanent hearing loss and tinnitus from that night and I completely regret it. I'm just grateful it didn't do even more damage
