    No kidding huh? I tell all my sons freinds that they have to shut the stereo off at the entrance of the lake here. The noise echoes off the cliffs at the river and it amplifies the boom from the subs. :biggrin_2552:

    I wish these kids could see what they are doing to themselves with this loud music. They would turn it down or at least wear ear plugs.

    A window fan on low or medium works pretty good for me. I sure sleep a lot better.
    But I don't like it because with that much back ground noise I'll never hear some one breaking into the house until they've already done me in. And I didn't have a fighting chance.

    It will somewhat reduce the ringing but the damage is permanent and can't be cured .

    Mine isn't usually that bad that it bothers me. Or maybe I've gotten used to it. There is usually enough back ground noise to keep it out of my immediate conscienceness.
