| 1215838 | 2011-07-10 02:05:00 | I'm watching "My best friend's a bear" on National Geographic at the moment. A very nice documentary set in Yellowstone Park, but why do these have to have stupid music interfering with the speech all the time making it impossible to hear him when he is whispering. Have the audiences got so stupid that they won't watch something like this without the music trying to make it a fuller experience.:mad::mad::mad: |

| 1215841 | 2011-07-10 07:24:00 | That is even more annoying than movies where the sound effects are twice as loud as the speech. The docos I have watched lately have use background music correctly, but they are probably old ones I haven't seen before. | Greven (91) | ||

I'm finding the newer ones are being peppered with over-dramatic sound bites -GROWL !! |

On many shows the music is much too loud, and as Tuiruru says, the sound effects are often too loud as well. Apart from complaining on this forum is there anything we can do? |

I was at a talk last week by a representative from a local Hearing Association. Apparently, with ipods/mp3 players etc, the current crop of teenagers/20 somethings are going to have the hearing levels of a current 70 year old by the the time they're in their 40's. It seems that most people don't understand that a jump from 50 db to 100 db is not a simple doubling in volume!! See here (www.howstuffworks.com) |

| 1215847 | 2011-07-10 12:23:00 | Quite often when I shoot movies with my camera I find that the sound needs to be removed. This is for instant wind noise, traffic noise or unwanted background speech. This can be replaced with music or dubbed with a commentary. It is good to have natural sound but natural sound can be distorted by other noise. If I use both speech and music I prefer to use music as a background so that the speech can be heard. |
