Why are movie theater speakers getting so loud?

891 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 go see the last John Wick with my wife in IMAX, and holy shit it was painfully loud. I dunno if I’m just getting old either but it seemed to be way over the top.

She was out grabbing popcorn and thankfully came in right after he punched that pole in the beginning otherwise she would have thrown our snacks all over everyone nearby hahahaha. I jumped out of my seat.
