Giran Jobe, a grunting weightlifter, had some disgruntled neighbors who felt he was too loud when lifting his weights. And, it turns out he probably was too loud, as he has now been fined, given a noise abatement, and taken to court.

If someone asked you to list the health dangers of loud music you'd probably come up with things like hearing and ear damage, and maybe safety related to being distracted. But lung collapse? Wouldn't have crossed my mind, not until I read this article anyway, which reports on cases where loud music caused a pneumothorax (lung collapse) in several young men. A few of the cited cases happened at concerts, and 1 was of a guy in his car listening to his 1,000 watt bass system. Experts are guessing it's the vibration of the bass in the loud music that can cause the problem -- essentially the lungs start to vibrate along with the beat and end up rupturing.

Something to think about the next time you head to a concert -- don't stand too close to the loudspeakers!
