I visited Chengdu (among others) in 2017/2018 and saw the square dancing many times. Always found it charming, especially seeing that the elderly have some active ways to spend their time. It must be good for their health. But yes they really tend to blast their music very loud. Already back then, the People's Park had decibel meters in every spot the oldies congregated, warning them if they went over the limit. Once I also watched quite an old gentleman performing (singing live to a backing track) folk songs from Inner Mongolia. He was really good at this and his voice was very moving. Really wish I could see it in person again.
