Ever find yourself sitting at a red light and all you can hear is the base of a sound system A base (as in all your base are belong) is incabable of making a sound.

As Beethovens deafness grew dramatically worse, he began taking the legs off of his piano and setting the piano on the floor when he wanted to compose. He could tell what the notes were from the vibrations of the floor.
Yes, I learned that in College years ago when I took music appreciation. I needed 1 more credit to graduate and the instructor was young and very, very good looking. To tell the truth, I probably learned more then I ever expected. She was quite captivating, I am quite surprised I was able to hear above my panting.
I digress, the little factoid about Beethoven truly was an interesting observation to learn. Reminds me of the move with Richard Drefuss (sp?), "Mr. Holland Opus".

Ah, yes weapons grade sound systems.
Gotta love ‘em.
I wonder if they interfere with infrasound detection systems?

All your “bass” (not “base”) are belong to us.

Yes, so I’ve been told. At least I fixed my error where it matters most.

The hair trick, old news... I designed and built the woofers that
did this. And yes, that's 170+ dB SPL, well in excess of a 30-06 rifle at the muzzle, and 100 times more powerful than a jet engine at 100 feet. And his door pillars soon thereafter tore in half, due to the flexing because of the amount of air pressure.
The young lady in that first video would be permanently and irreversibly deaf if she sat in Scottie's van running at full tilt.
Also built this beast which, when equipped with its 24" x 24" baffle, would displace 2 cubic FEET of air (it has 6" of linear stroke). Those big 21" woofers at rock concerts? It would take 28 of them to equal the output of this beast (for scale, the steel plates are 8" in diameter, and the whole assembly is 20" long).
Yeah, I'm responsible for some of those boom cars...

Too much volume can render you unconscious, as I learned once from a wind tunnel. I got into “safety” in time, but I was slipping away.

Whenever one of those boom boom boom boom cars is close by, I always want to shoot out their tires. Is that wrong?I think other motorists and pedestrians would probably applaud you if you did!

The writer says:
"I never have been able to understand how someone could actually be enjoying whatever it is they are listening to" They don't enjoy it. They're willing to destroy their own hearing just to piss other people off. These aggressive tendencies tend to be part of human adolescence -- and adolescence has nothing to do with actual chronological age. For instance, we now have an adolescent of a different type in the White House.
