Play loud without pissing off the neighbours?

If, says he says, hearing damage is done by high db, will this open the world to folk having damage caused by high db exposure while the sound is at a low perceived volume?

Surely high perceived volume, while at low db is the way to go?

Or maybe I missed the point and the principal. But then the whole article is telling you about the idea, but not the science.

Well there's no physics there at all and the claims aren't that big, twice the volume is probably 3dB. Twice the energy but only just noticeably louder.

My guess is that this is just multiband compression, he talks about mastering techniques in the studio applied to clubs. The peaks in bass output are being reduced and the average levels raised. There's nothing new there but the way it is being implemented may be improved. think AER Amp One or any PA with DSP
