In my present club, the owner tells me to turn it up all the time. He might even be more deaf than I am. I try to go out on the floor periodically and make sure it isn't ear-piercing, though--you can't tell from the booth.

i seriously wish i knew. it sucks even more when the dj is on a power trip and actually plays it louder when anyone complains. customers have actually left because of the volume and it physically hurts my ears at times.
I've always thought that anything beyond movie theater volume was too much for a strip club. It's not a rock concert, it's a strip club.
I have worked for clubs that work to keep the volume to a reasonable level, and one club I worked at, actually had the volume too low. On day shift, there was no DJ on, so the girls just used a CD player that was hooked into the club's sound system. Unfortunately, it was set pretty low, and the controls were behind plexiglass, so if the room got full before the DJ got there, it was actually pretty hard to hear the music.
Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!
Studies have shown that people drink more when the music is loud (because they can't talk as well). Seriously.
And drunk people=more money for everyone.
^^^ Yup, and conversations are kept short. Can't spend a bunch of wasted time trying to have a conversation, so you might was well go and get a dance or pay to go to a VIP area where the volume is a bit lower.
If you can't win. Make the fellow in front of you break the record.




Well,there are many reasons it's overly loud,it IS a nightclub,after all.For me the downside is that my hearing is messed up after many years of work.![]()
As an aside, I wonder if the average noise volume would be the basis of an OSHA complaint.
1-800-321-OSHA
(Of course, then you might end up with stupid management requiring their employees to wear ear plugs, vs. just turning the volume down.)
ETA: See this story on testing sound levels in some So. Cal clubs. OSHA standards are referenced at the bottom.

The SC I go to had the music so loud that you couldn't have a conversation and my ears almost bled. After a couple of months of this, I wrote the owner of the SC an anonymous letter about how loud the music was and the fact that a few of my friends won't step foot in your SC because the music was too damn loud.
When I stopped by a couple of weeks later, they lowered the volume. It's perfect now.
It only takes 10 minutes to find the address and write a letter to the owner of the SC. If they don't respond, write another one. Write: attention - Owner or Manager on the envelope.
Dancers can write letters too and pretend to be a customer.

Definetly!
At one club I worked at the music was too loud, and so loud at the tables that were by the speakers that no one would go those tables to ask for a dance. I hated it as a Dancer there, then went back a couple of years later as a customer and hated it even more. We left early b/c we were sick of just staring at the walls. We wanted to discuss the dancers, the stage work, which dancers we may want to have a dance from and why. Ya know, stuff you like to chat about with your mates at a strip club. It was impossible though.
A civilian spends money to look good
A stripper looks good to make money
A civilian may be after your wage
A stripper laughs at your wage
I would prefer the volume be turned down a few notches also. I like being able to talk table side.
My complaints to management have gone unanswered. I suppose in their wisdom management believes the high volume somehow puts more money in their pocket. But to me, it is an irritation.

Once again I have embraced my addiction and have put off the moral dilemma to another day.









I won't stay where I am uncomfortable so really loud music means that if I have no specific reason to be there I go someplace else.
That's just me though.
Guys will put up with an awful lot to look, touch, or more with pretty women. I'm not one of those guys [at least I haven't been for a very long time now]. I like my creature comforts too much and pretty women can be found in environments that are comfortable. So why put up with a potential headache if one doesn't have to?
It is so prevalent a problem in many S-Cs that I've even tipped DJ's with enough sense to keep the volume at a reasonable level simply out of appreciation.

BTW, while we are on the subject, is it needed to point out the obvious: That it is just possible that if you are willing to judge the worth of someone simply by what you read on a website about them it might say a whole hell of a lot more about you than it says about the person you are judging?





Out of curiosity, why would you put up with that? Vote with your wallet and spend your money in a club that more suits your tastes?
BTW, if the answer is that your fav works there than tell her you can't stand the music volumes and let her complain to management that the volume is driving her customers away. Maybe they'd be more inclined to listen to her?

because those djs and managers dont have to be in our stuation as a customers or dancers - they are CLUELESS . dumbases , rednecks - dont know what it takes to run a gentelmen's club




In a crowded club, the bodies absorb some of the sound. In an empty one, the sound is so crushing that the claustrophobia it induces makes it feel crowded.
The drinking thing, too.

Ever notice how loud people talk after a few drinks? Hearing is one of the first things to be effected by alcohol. Maybe that would explaine the need for a high volume.
Or the club just wants to pretend they're really busy, with a big crowd that the music has to compete with.
It's surprising that no one has mentioned this: when it's loud, how do people counteract the volume? Well, #1: they talk louder. -And, more importantly #2: they move closer to one another. Haven't you ever found yourself leaning in to speak directly into someone's ear? Subtle maybe, but there you have the beginnings of something more intimate!
She moves in close and maybe I catch a whiff of her perfume, or her hair brushes my neck... I feel her breath in my ear as she talks to me *shudder*
Basically I'm saying that the volume gives a socially acceptable motivation to move closer to one another. I think the clubs realize this could be good for sales.

god I hate this. At one club I could barely order drinks, id have to keep repeating myself, and one drink was completely wrong.
I also hate the lighting on the stage in some clubs. If I cant see the girl how am I supposed to get interested in a lap dance?









It's a deprivation thing and meant to confuse you especially if you are out of your element.
When it's too loud and I know it isI drag my customers to the VIP where it's quiet.



Huh? Can you repeat that please? The music is TOO loud!" <----- Lol
... I've always wondered the same thing, so it was nice to read all the replies!



My theory: Discourage conversation on the main floor, customers inclined to buy more dances or if they really want to have a conversation, then they'll spend money to get into the champagne room or another quieter area of the club.
