Wear ear plugs. You can make them out of crumpled napkin.
I've heard that excessively loud sounds can cause brain damage - or was that the other way around? ;-)
Good Luck! Rich

The perception of volume is logarithmic, but the actual detection of sounds has to be linear, else you're hearing a distorted version of the sound. But of course nothing is perfectly linear, even the air is slightly nonlinear, and so causes very low-level harmonics in any sound travelling through it. But that's insignificant compared to the distortion in the amplifiers and speakers discussed in this thread.
