  1. Ok here is an example it was so loud it was shaking my rearview mirror in my truck. Guess what that is doing to your hearing. Do you hear me young at heart.

  2. When your facility makes REK sound bad that is enough. Too loud, too distorted, too bad. Saved my money this year.

  3. I agree. I live 2 miles away and the music is so loud I can hear it very clearly even inside my home. I know tonight and tomorrow night the music will be playing till 1am and I’m not looking forward to it. It is a bit ridiculous.

  4. The loud music was totally out of order yesterday. It was so annoying !!!! To me, it was not music, it was NOISE !!!!!

  5. Who controls the sound volume when the band’s play? Extremely loud would one like to explain why we want to damage the hearing of young folks permanently.

    1. Really?! This is an outdoor concert. The purpose is to hear music….You don’t have to stand next to the speaker if you don’t want….the concert/fair goers can stand anywhere they choose to. You may want to find something else to complain about….just a thought!!

      1. I had the same question; and I certainly don’t stand next to the speakers — I live about half a mile away from the venue, near downtown, and the volume level seems unreasonably loud at my house. I’m not complaining though, as it’s only for a couple hours and my hearing is very poor already.

    2. I agree the sound level should be reasonable and not at a high volume that can harm a person’s eardrums.
