    My gym keeps playing music at 70-80 dB according to an app. I told their management to lower it (it became around ~60 dB after that), and so they did but I have to keep reminding them every time I go there. I work out only for 1 hour max, sometimes only 40-45 mins. I wear ear plugs when I go...
