A possible reason why bars and clubs have their music irrationally loud
We all know the typical reason given out by guys- it's just a simple way to make people a little more lonely and anxious, and to do that they drink more. Obviously, with ridiculous markup on the alcohol, so there is significant financial incentive, but the effect is not too big that people start to associate the venue with negative feelings, and it's socially accepted anyway.
But I figured that that reason is not sufficient to explain why so many venues had it when it was unbearable for me, especially without wearing earplugs. There has to be more people like me who want to go out and fuck girls without having to deal with the scammy tactics used by venues.
As I was rolling solo quite a lot in the past few months, I often was getting bored just waiting for a good time to approach. Sometimes I would shoot the shit with random guys, or even unbangable girls/girls not my type. At first I thought hot girls I approached came closer to me as they were romantically/sexually attracted, but soon realised everyone, guy or girl, were trying to get closer to me. Ostensibly, they do it "to hear me better". But it would probably be easier to stay where you were and simply talk much louder.
I was thinking about them doing that and I realised in hunter gatherer tribes we probably did get real close to each other, and that helped us develop emotional bonds with other members of the tribe more easily. We've only been "civilised" for a couple thousand years or so, so it's not enough time for evolution to change us, we still want that close emotional connection.
But in most parts of life, society has trained people to think it's awkward or "creepy" to move really close to other people. No matter that doing it in of itself isn't(as it's been done for millions of years)- but there's a self fulfilling prophecy that if you are socially aware and high value you tend not to do it, so the people that still do it are "awkward" so they reinforce that idea. People still haven't changed from wanting close emotional connections, and somehow at night venues where the music loud people can use this excuse that they are trying to hear each other better.
I'm probably saying this in part selfishly(I don't want to listen to insanely loud shitty music someone thought was "cool" at such a high volume), but also think it would benefit society as a whole. Why do we have to go to places like that for close emotional connections with strangers for it not to be "awkward"? Couldn't we somehow do it normally in our day to day lives? Is our society that fucked up?

RE: A possible reason why bars and clubs have their music irrationally loud
There's a direct correlation between loudness of music and the hotness of the women in attendance at any given club / bar.
The louder the music, the hotter the women tend to be. This is no accident; the loud music acts as a buffer to protect them from being hit on by betas. It makes it harder for your average beta to go up to a hot chick and introduce himself the louder the music is. This makes mate selection that much easier for women. It removes the conversationalist from the equation. If you're not 6'4 Chad Thundercock with six pack abs, your chances of scoring go way down when you remove conversation from the equation.
You're also correct in your assessment in that the club is creating a high stress environment by bumping up the music; the idea is to create an uncomfortable situation and then sell you the solution: alcohol.

People drink more when its loud and you can't talk, all there is do is drink and dance.
Or do like me and post up on the wall holding your beer at chest height and wait for women to approach you... I keep doing this and one day it will pay off. I will get approached by girl, its bound to happen..... right guys?

I honestly can't understand why anyone would consider such an environment a good place to meet women. How can I meet women if I can't talk to them?
It sounds like you've never actually been to a bar or club, because this was my same thought process before I started going out.
Alcohol, grinding, loud music. It's truly an awesome environment, and women doll themselves up before going out which to me is great because it allows you to see them in their peak appearance, so as there's no question if she could be hotter.
And it's very possible to talk to women. This is another aspect I love about bars and clubs: It forces the guy and girl to get close in order to talk. One of the best unintentional characteristics about these places. The music's too loud but she's trying to talk to you - No other choice but to close that gap between you and her and put your hand gently on her lower back while you tilt your head down so an ear is close to her mouth. When she's done talking, you speak closely in her's. It's perfect. You're making a move that doesn't seem odd or forced - It's something that makes sense. This forced physical interaction is a great way to establish your smoothness, your masculinity, and it lets her feel your skin; something that women adore.
If you're younger like me, the Snapcodes are another fantastic way to get around the noise issue. I've gotten many Snapchats in bars barely speaking a word to her. Just pull it up and she'll add you 90% of the time if you're generally attractive. Her and her friends may pass your phone around too, so the next morning you'll have 7+ new friends on Snapchat. Good or bad, that's yours to decide.
Trust me, bars/clubs are a great place to meet women. Go out with your friends next weekend. It's a great time.
