Palaces 'being damaged by concert noise'

Telegraph

Over hundreds of years, historic buildings have provided the backdrop to glittering banquets, fabulous celebrations and, today, corporate hospitality.
But a scientist warned the British Association's festival that, even though these events can help generate income for conservation, they could be harming buildings and collections, "in unexpected ways".

i can kind of see how the decibels could damage a foundation or building over a vast period of time. most of these palaces were built to withstand a good deal of things though. theyll probably be fine for many many years to come.
for preventative measures, the music volume could be regulated a little more though.  :thumbsup:

  One has to wonder why Edinburgh Castle is not in ruins, all that bagpipe noise and all. :teehee:
