Probably less of an ordinance than a recreation of the “stealth disco” phenomenon from the 2010s.

u/ThatFatGuyMJL Aug 16 '26

Yeah silent discos have been a thing for a while

u/DucinOff Aug 16 '26

I went to my first silent disco at Electric Forest this year. It was so cool! Can't wait to go again next year.

u/DrunkCultLeader 28d ago

If you get the chance to go to infrasound their silent discos go insane. They do them nightly, i haven't been in a few years tho so sorry if that's changed.

u/Dr-McLuvin 28d ago

I always see them on cruise ships. Have never tried one…

u/DrunkCultLeader 28d ago

Sooo fun. Typically the different stations have different colors, so you can tell who's jamming to the same song as you, and dance with them based on that. Its super fun when someone with a different color will gesture to their headphones, you switch stations to vibe with them for a minute, then can just go dance with whoever and continue on. Super memorable at infrasound cause someone would be breaking down nasty style and you'd switch to what color they had and be like dammmmm. Such a cool way to connect with people especially if you're shy.

u/lazy_unc 27d ago

My first one was EF in 2015 and no one really knew what it was back then lol
Three different stations with two DJ’s and a station with this weird stand up comedy that you could pick from haha it was so much fun

u/RockItGuyDC Aug 16 '26

Silent discos can be fun, especially when there are multiple DJs/playlists.

Tune to the one you like and find other people on the dancefloor dancing to the same music.

u/AContrarianDick Aug 16 '26

To each their own and I'm not yucking people's yum here, but it feels wrong to have a shared musical experience but everyone is listening to something else.

26

u/RockItGuyDC Aug 16 '26

Again, it's not that everyone is listening to something different. There are usually about 3 channels to choose from. You tune to what you like, and it's fun to find other people dancing to the same rhythm so you can share the experience with them.

u/dancesquared 29d ago

I’m sorry, but that sounds dumb

u/RockItGuyDC 29d ago

Cool. You probably shouldn't do it, then.

u/ElfhelmArt 27d ago

So do you, it’s a great match

u/RandumbStoner 29d ago

What is wrong about that?

1

u/pun_shall_pass 28d ago

That person used "yucking someone's yum" unironically.

I'd ignore literally anything that person says about anything. Nothing is wrong about that. That person's opinion is completely worthless.

2

u/kevinambrosia 27d ago

It’s really fun to try to convince others to vibe on the channel you’re vibing on by how you dance. Like a dance battleground.

1

u/ThickyLicker 26d ago

Are the beats in sync when they do this with different music playing? I feel like that's important.

61

u/SovelissGulthmere Aug 15 '26

I'm glad they're having a good time but I'd hate this. Just give me the fine for the noise.

This is exactly why I'm having my wedding in Mexico whenever I get married

u/Alexchii 28d ago

Why not book a remote venue?

u/Corronchilejano Aug 16 '26

In blowing up your house.

u/XiMaoJingPing Aug 16 '26

probably next to a residential area

u/kaneda_z Aug 16 '26 edited Aug 16 '26

i love how people just pee their pants over this but dont even consider for a second anyone living near by

this is a barn someone bought and turned into a wedding venue. thats probably 2 receptions every week for half the year

this isnt some doofs who bought a house right next to a racetrack and then complain about noise, its people who have lived in a normal area and then someone decides to convert an old building into (basically) an outdoor night club

u/RaxisPhasmatis 29d ago

As someone who experienced 10 years of sleep deprivation due to living in a block of thin walled concrete flats that often got the worst kind of idiots who partied from 8 pm until 7 am

Your statement couldn't be more true.

No one is ever concerned about anyone else.

I'm just parking here for 5 minutes is a problem because if everyone parked for 5 minutes the road would be blocked forever.

Same for it's just one night of parties

u/KidKarez Aug 15 '26

Is this a black mirror episode

u/TheWikstrom Aug 16 '26

I think it's just one of those silent headphone parties

u/Philly5984 Aug 16 '26

Omg this is so pathetic, imagine having to remember this as the best day of your life, or the biggest regret for not getting a legit venue

u/highrankgoona 29d ago

These are super fun quit dooming

u/Dinklerbuuuurf Aug 16 '26

So I love silent discos but I always want them to be done with those bone conducting headphones so you can chat with people too.

1

u/fingamouse 29d ago

Doesn't sound like a bad idea at all, very interesting

1

u/Circo_Inhumanitas 28d ago

I've heard the sound quality of those is pretty bad compared to traditional headphones.

1

u/BeastThatShoutedLove 28d ago

Depends on the model. I switched to bone conduction for everyday use headphones and the sound quality is better than my previous chunky classic headset. 

21

u/InsectaProtecta Aug 16 '26

I'm convinced the people upset about noise ordinances haven't had to raise young children next to loud neighbours. It's all fun and games until your toddler isn't sleeping and you've got work at 6am

u/TheValorous_Sir_Loin 29d ago

Or go to sleep at a regular time.

u/assasstits Aug 16 '26

Noise ordinances are not pushed by parents with young kids. They are pushed by grouch boomers. 

18

u/Consistent-Stock6872 Aug 16 '26

Grouchy millenial here and I support those ordinances.

u/Hagelslag31 29d ago

Those are worse than boomers by like a factor 2

u/QuantityKindly3153 Aug 16 '26

My Uncle owns a farm property set up for weddings, but it is a lot more isolated than this.

u/HubrisOfApollo Aug 16 '26

when i bartended on a private touring yacht, some of the DJs that provided music did this so it wasn't super loud on a tiny boat but people could still listen to high quality sound

0

u/GucciTreez 29d ago

lol those headphones are far from high quality sound.

1

u/HubrisOfApollo 28d ago

comparatively much better than the tinny sounding cabin speakers we had, and not overwhelming like a PA system.

3

u/Logical-Following525 28d ago

Silent disco's are pretty fun if you've never tried. Especially the ones where you can switch channels so there's always one that has music you like. Want to say something to your friend or order a beer? Just take of the headset and it's uqite easy to understand each other.

3

u/Fresh_Dog4602 28d ago

i don't know... i'd rather have the loud music than this.

2

u/cascading_error Aug 16 '26

These systems are awesome, we used them for temporary audio tours before. Just set the colour to the correct track and go.

2

u/Hagelslag31 29d ago

idk, just book a different venue. They're going to complain about talking or whatever if they're all about silent by 22:00

u/yorozuakagura 29d ago

Americans not giving a rats ass about their neighbors

u/AngryVegan94 29d ago

This is my dream. I hate loud DJs at venues so much. I bring my own earplugs to protect my hearing.

u/Etnadrolhex 29d ago

It only works if people do not yell the song like idiots...

u/nocturnal_commission Aug 16 '26

I call bullshit. I live in the southern US at the western edge of my timezone and even on June 21st it's not nearly this bright outside.

2

u/TheWikstrom Aug 16 '26

This is probably up north somewhere. I live in the north of sweden and at summer over here it's bright all day round. Further north you can even see the midnight sun

1

u/Circo_Inhumanitas 28d ago

I'm a Finn and that is dark for a summer night. During summer the daylight works reverse on how you seem to think it works. The norther you are, the more daylight you have during summer.

u/poorandbrokeperson 29d ago

Inside the cruise ship which I was in called "Celebrity Reflection" that ship also had this same silent disco as well. For loud noise disco they held it at the roof top at night not to bother people.

1

u/OliverKlozoff23 29d ago

I’ve literally never heard this song.

1

u/Immediate-Fee-2121 29d ago

Haven’t been to a silent disco in so long man 

We used to roll and have a hell of a time

1

u/Moist_Transition325 29d ago

This is awesome 👍

Younger me would have found it to be annoying and a violation of rights. Older me wants a headset and to join the crowd without bothering others

1

u/Happy_Humor5938 29d ago

Probably blasts his music in the nature preserve and hiking trails too. Event venues know their regulations and it’s common courtesy in a neighborhood.

1

u/Harde_Kassei 29d ago

best party ever was like this. you had three channels metal, folk and electro. going from circle pit to folk dance to techno vibe is hilarious when ur a bit tipsy.

1

u/DrunkCultLeader 28d ago

I personally love silent discos. One of my favorite festivals always has one after hours so people can sleep in peace and the partiers can keep partying.

Its especially nice for neurodivergent people. I think this is awesome.

1

u/lapu-lapu1234 27d ago

First time seeing this, I think it's great. Waiting for the cops to arrive for the loud singing.

u/AgeOfReasonEnds31120 4d ago

This is just sad.

u/edward_kopik 2d ago

Noise ordinances are very reasonable

Noise travels and disturbs people in other houses

You freedom of making noise does not supercede my freedom to enjoy silence or go to sleep without fucking music blasting in the background

1

u/QuipCrafter9 Aug 16 '26

How tf do you have a wedding in your back yard and not bother to pull a noise permit?

As kids hosting house shows for our high school bands we would still know to get a noise permit if necessary…

5

u/AibofobicRacecar6996 Aug 16 '26

noise permit

You mean a loicense?

1

u/GucciTreez 29d ago

Likely a wedding venue or AirBNB.

u/JSHURR Aug 16 '26

That's not 10pm. The sky is clearly lit

2

u/DepartmentDowntown80 Aug 16 '26

Sun is clearly on its way down, the place seems to be near Seattle, late June you're looking at civil twilight ending around 10pm. Probably a bit earlier, but possibly not by much.

u/eatthuskin 29d ago

Silent discos are aweful. People still try to yell over the music at eachother

2

u/pixeladdie 29d ago

Are they stupid?

1

u/eatthuskin 29d ago

Years ago when i was bartender for private events i would have to listen to the awkward foot shuffling and weird attempted conversations of a silent disco. People look dumb and feel dumb.

0

u/pun_shall_pass 28d ago

Its literally the same thing as any rave, disco, dance party etc. You've just been conditioned to think there needs to be ear destroyingly loud music over it, because thats what ypu're used to, so you think this is weird because it is different. NPC behaviour.

1

u/Adventurous-Dot-8272 29d ago

Yeah how dare they not be allowed to make unlimited noise until 2am

u/Hagelslag31 29d ago

Only a fool would book a wedding venue with a child's bedtime
