## Resource

Amsterdam’s Melkweg dared to turn down the volume for a Blaudzun show — not to muffle the music, but to protect ears without earplugs. Inspired by Oormerk’s mission to preserve sound quality and hearing health, the venue tested 94-95 decibels, the sweet spot for safe concert listening. Blaudzun, a die-hard fan of live shows, embraced the idea, believing earplugs rob the experience. The crowd loved it — no one felt they missed out, proving that quieter doesn’t mean less thrilling.
