The bones in your ear translate those vibrations into nerve signals, which your brain interprets as sounds. But other body parts can vibrate, too, including your chest. For most of us, this is nothing to worry about. Unless you have a serious heart condition, the pounding bass shouldn’t affect your heart muscle.

What Is Foley Art? Foley is a unique sound effect technique that involves creating and “performing” everyday sounds for movies and television shows. Foley artists create these sounds in a recording studio during post-production, in synchrony with the picture, to enhance the quality of the audio.

Too much bass can cause the speaker cones to move excessively beyond its limits — a situation known as over excursion. Over time the cones will deform and eventually break. Also, an extremely loud bass can easily damage midrange speakers because they are not designed to play low frequencies.

Speaker popping and crackling is caused by interrupted electrical current (audio signals) or, in other words, a loose or dirty connection. To fix crackling and popping, troubleshoot the connective wires to find the problem area and secure the connection and/or replace the cable.

The most common aural indication of a blown speaker is an unpleasant buzzing or scratching sound, by itself or roughly at the pitch of the note the speaker is attempting to reproduce. Or there could be no sound at all.

Keep the volume on your receiver at least 5-6dB below its max setting. The volume adjustment on most receivers goes from -80dB (mute) to about +16dB (max). By staying below -6dB below that max setting you can typically avoid over-driving the receiver, which could potentially damage your speakers and receiver.

Here are three ways to remove noise:

1. EQ. Use equalization to roll off the high-frequency hiss.
2. De-Noise Plug In. Noise reduction plug-ins work by sampling sections of pure noise (i.e., without good audio) known as a noise profile, and using that as a template for what to strip from the recording.
3. Multi-band Compression.

Consider these steps.

1. Identify if it’s distortion or noise.
2. Review the amplifier and check for clipping.
3. Review the mixer’s output meter for clipping.
4. Review the channels for clipping.
5. Review the stage equipment.
6. Check the speakers.

The speaker wire will have a lot of resistance if it is too thin. If the contacts don’t make good contact, you’ll have that same problem as well as the possibility of significant distortion.

Muffled sound from speakers is usually caused by them not being wired in sequence, or the wiring being damaged. Also, it’s worth checking that your AV receiver is on the right setting for the media. Fixing muffled surround sound can sometimes be very simple, but other times it can be quite difficult to troubleshoot.

Pushing an amp beyond its limits will produce a distorted,or clipped,audio signal.It is this distortion which tends to blow loudspeakers. Too little power will not technically blow speakers,though it does tend to cause user end error as stated above,which could possibly lead to speaker failure.
