It's unfortunately true... despite the fact that there are laws (at least here in Australia) regarding safe exposure to noise/sound, too often when I go to the...
It varies a lot by theater. I find most theaters to be at a pretty comfortable level for me, but I have to admit that I have been to theaters that I thought...
