history - Rabbinical suppport for reducing noise at weddings


There is a verse in Devarim (Deut) - Don't recall exact location that says "Watch your lives very carefully". From here we learn that we must do what we can to preserve our health.


So, I'm wondering if there has ever been a rabbinical decree / statement that requested Jewish event hosts to reduce the music / band volume at Jewish events? It is a well-known fact that prolonged exposure to loud music causes hearing loss. If so, when the band knowingly plays such loud music (proof - the band players are wearing headphones or ear plugs), it seems they are violating the rule of ruining other people's health, and, perhaps, enjoyment of the simchah.
