Rotghroth Rhapsody waterplant Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Nice one Slith . I would turn into Enraged waterplant if I travelled all the way to South Africa to attend a World Cup match only to be driven out of the stadium at half-time with a splitting headache.

Well-Actually War Trall The Ratt Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I was wondering what was so special about a picture and why people were saying the noise hurt their ears/head, but then I turned my speakers on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but while fight songs are (somewhat) endearing, the horns are just annoying. That said, I still prefer them over thundersticks. Sticks aren't that bad if they're used as percussion to a song, but most of the time it's just people banging wildly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think that's bad, try living with The Hum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Monroe Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Uhg, some of us do live with a ring. You know, from attending one too many rock concerts. I can't even sleep in complete silence anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Dantius Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 It is also worth mentioning that disproves of the vuvuzela. It's one of the better-done versions of that clip (which is rather overused now ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't even sleep in complete silence anymore. You're preaching to the choir on this. But I agree, it's highly irritating. Imagine, if you will, , sped up to about 50 times normal, with the pitch changed so that it's just inside the upper range of human hearing, and played backwards ad infinitum for at least 25-30 years and counting, stuck in the head of what's now a 32-year-old man. And you can't figure out the cause, there's no way to stop it, and nobody believes that you're hearing it in the first place. That, in a nutshell, is my life.

Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I also have tinnitus, in my left ear. It's been there for over 20 years now, and I'm pretty used to it. I have to think about it to check that it's still there. Mine was actually caused by gunfire, but it was just a training exercise, and it was my own fault — I should have been a meter or two further back. It's worth bearing in mind, if you do any shooting. Obviously bullets are the overriding safety issue, but it's worth avoiding the sound cone of a rifle muzzle, as well as the line of fire itself.

Well-Actually War Trall The Ratt Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Playing a musical instrument can cause that. Sitting in front of the brass section and behind the piccolos is the best way to achieve it. Better yet play the piccolo while sitting in front of the brass section. From what individuals who have this problem say, they have a hard time hearing things such as conversation when there's a lot of background noise, but they are much better at hearing differences in tones.

Yeah, I'll admit it does; however, I've long since gotten used to it. I've also learned to distinguish between the "normal" ringing and things that sound similar to it. And believe it or not, it's actually lessened a bit since they started phasing out CRT televisions and monitors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall The Ratt Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Originally Posted By: Sss-Chah since when does anything soccer related have a point? You know, don't go around bashing an individual sport. I might be jumping to conclusions with this, but just because you don't like soccer or don't think soccer is a sport doesn't mean other people agree with you. I'm sure there are people that don't like your favorite sport as well. If you really just want to have a philisophical argument I apologize for what I said and I would like to add, since when does anything related to modern sports have a point?

If there ever was a point for any sporting event, it's pretty much gone now. It seems to me that they've all devolved into nothing more than an excuse to get together with a group of rowdy people (friends or otherwise), consume a good percentage of one's weight in beer and junk food, and act like a complete idiot.

Understated Ur-Drakon Callie Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I watch figure skating, and I find that the noises generally consists of more pleasant things such as classical music. I don't think I've seen beer in the audience either. (Then again, drunk figure skating might be interesting...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
