I was at kiss within the last two weeks and you didn't hear the music, you felt it as your hearing slowly failed. I forgot to bring earplugs, something I would never recommend, and I could hear not a thing at the end of the concert.
Thinking of something so loud that it makes objects move.... nope.

- chiph 13y agoThe loudest concert I ever went to was Rush in 1990 at the Charlotte Coliseum (the "Presto" tour with the inflatable rabbit). Even though I wore earplugs, my hearing still rang for 3 days afterwards. No more indoor concerts for me!
- bjz_ 13y agoUnfortunately 'ringing' in the ears is a sign of permanent hearing loss. The hairs in the cochlea snap. The brain eventually adapts and filters out the ringing, but the actual damage can't be reversed.
- freehunter 13y agoWell, it's not hard to make things move with sound. I'll bet there was a good amount of wind being generated by the speakers at that concert, and indeed every concert. My home stereo system can blow papers around if I set those papers right in front of the subwoofer. The speakers in my car and blow papers around if they're laying on the floor. Speakers move air. That's what they do. Making objects move is a simple as them being light enough to blow in the breeze or vibrations created.
