Why are movie theater speakers getting so loud?

680 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?

Hadn’t been to a movie theater in years, but went to go see Oppenheimer in IMAX 70mm.

I didn’t realize the bigger picture also came with deafening sound.
