Well I'm not playing a laptop, just actual oscillators, and
love doing loud high-pitched things, and have really
bummed out a few people in the process, so I'm guessing
some folks have more physical tolerance than others in this
regard (or more hearing loss...).

Often, this is quite true. For better or worse, I've reached
the point where the second I notice someone's 'technique'
is the point where I begin disliking the music. To me,
"dude, so-and-so can play the shit out of the tuba"
is a young statement. A true 'master' makes selfless music -
if there's a lot of 'technique' on display, then maybe there's
not enough music...
