FOUR nights a week 'drum beat music' blares out from Cubes nightclub in Blackburn (LET, October 27). I don't envy the nearby residents who have to endure sleepless nights -- through no fault of their own.

Scott Moon, the manager, talks of installing a regulator to limit the volume of music, and he is also considering double glazing for some of the residents' windows. Why doesn't he turn the wretched music down so that it is confined to the four walls of his night club?

Youngsters seem brainwashed into believing that noise is part of everyday life -- a necessary drug whether at work or at play.

Are they unaware that constant noise is scarcely beneficial to their physical, mental and spiritual development? They simply talk louder and more aggressively to counteract this noise.

Sadly, the 'sound of silence' which enables all of us to recollect our thoughts, feelings and actions seems to have flown out of the window.
