The state of Connecticut is considering passing a bill that would limit the volume of movies that are playing in the theater.
If the bill passes, they would become the first state to regulate how loud movies can be played, setting the limit at 85 decibels.
Vans Stevenson, senior vice president with the Motion Picture Association of America is quoted as saying: “We already have voluntary standards in place at the direction of the National Association of Theater Owners and groups involved in sound technology. Those standards were set for the comfort and safety of patrons and we think further legislation is unnecessary.”
The safe level of noise in the work place as recommended by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health is at or below 85 decibels, and Stevenson says that movies or previews usually only exceed that volume during a few moments for dramatic effect in scenes that have gunshots or explosions.
But the activists who came up with the idea to regulate the volume of movies say that the average decibels during movies or previews can reach up to 110 decibels for a sustained amount of time, which they believe could be harmful to people‘s hearing.

Global transport and distribution networks have been deeply affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. Supply chains across the world were suddenly placed under severe stress, trying to balance surging demand for certain products with a need to limit human contacts to slow the spread of the illness. The fallout so far has many people asking if globalisation can return to what it was before the pandemic or if global interconnectedness of the future will be altered forever.
