Now you are speaking my language.
Why is it that family members don't like full on bass or orchestra from 40 feet and 1 or 2 stories away. I mean, it's not like they can hear it like I can.
My team has a signal; they turn the light switch on and off repeatedly as a sign to turn the music down. When everybody's away, the lights just flicker because I am drawing so much current... from my 15 amp dedicated circuit :)
