    I just got back from a beach vacation in a house we rented. Unfortunately I had to rely on a relatives speaker, so I could relax watching for no kids to drown.

    Mostly played soft R&B, Blues, or anything downbeat at a lower level I could hear it over the sound of the waves and screaming children. But I was sitting right next to it and not blasting it from 100 meters away.

    We’d also setup way early with no one around. I’d have the speaker rolling and the beach wasn’t packed. Yet people still setup really close to me on both sides.

    At that point I figured they weren’t bothered. They would hopefully have said something because we talked to each other about the kids playing together.

    So yeah there are situations, like everything else.

    Probably only person I bothered was my Mother-in-law, because she is kinda racist and doesn’t like music made by darker skin people, but that I really didn’t give a shit about.

      yeah, you pretty much get ten feet from the speaker and can’t hear it. beaches i go to at least, there’s lots of us little dorks sitting and drawing or reading or listening to music all quietly by ourselves, sneaking a joint whenever the kids are away.
