LOL..anybody else have this problem?

I don't know if it's because I live in an older house,and the floors are not on solid ground(crawl space under the house) or what. But anytime I turned up my amp sometimes the sound of things buzzing in the house are distracting from the actual sound of the amp.

I bet, I'd be pretty freaking pissed if I broke a window actually. Of course later i'd laugh about it.

Nah! It was an old single pane window. No big deal.

One time I was jamming with some friends in the guitarist's living room, and after about a half hour of playing a vase on the piano fell off and broke. After that we had to make regular inspections to make sure no other valuable items were migrating to the edge of their respective surfaces.

Gotta love the bass.

I used to play over at friends back home in atlanta. With my old sears 200bxl cab cranked up I remember hearing acorns and junk rolling off the roof of his house.

My house seems to resonate to the note A and a bit less to Bb on the upper registers.

I never really think too much of it. It can break my concentration when practicing sometimes when I'm playing really low and things still start rattling.

I for once would like to hear my amp and the sound of my bass without the sound of junk rattling.
