Why are movie theater speakers getting so loud?

702 viewsOtherTechnology

At first I thought it might just be me, but online and in person, I’m hearing more and more people talk or joke about how crazy loud movie theater speakers are getting. Lots of people (including myself) are resorting to wearing ear plugs just to watch a movie without getting ear pain. Meanwhile, I almost never see anyone complaining about *not* being able to hear a movie in the theater.

Is there a secret wave of people who can’t hear theater speakers that I’m just missing? Or is something else going on?

I went to see Dune part 1 at the cinema after watching it a few times at home. I couldn’t understand half the dialogue the sound was so clipped out. Not keen on going back tbh. It was unbearably loud and I left with tinnitus.

Plus I’m a sad old guy who likes subtitles and the ability to pause and go for a piss.
