He may just grow up into one of those guys who likes to stand near the speakers at Who concerts because it's so loud. I think that a lot of people do like certain sounds loud. I can't listen to metal unless it's loud, but too loud gives me a headache. It didn't used to though.
In my younger days, I went to a lot of concerts and now I have issues with tinnitus. Overly loud noises are nothing to fool around with.
I don't have any hearing loss except what comes with being 48. I used to listen to loud music in the car every time I drove somewhere, up until my early 20s. Then I would still enjoy some loud music when it was possible, which wasn't that often with kids around. I do still like loud music sometimes, but I can only stand it for a few songs, if it's in the car or at someones house. If it's a band I know and like and I'm at a bar or a concert, I love it still, but I do start getting a headache or just nervous from it after a while.
Some things just can't be played soft though.
I was thinking about the suggestion that the OP got about duct tape over the speaker of toys, and I was wondering if there is any way to fiddle with the toys to make them not play as loud, in case he starts taking off the duct tape. If nobody here knows, maybe somebody in the computers and technology forum might have a suggestion?
