We had four men to a room in the 7th SFG barracks and music was sometimes a problem - CW v Rock and the volume of some stereo systems...especially when the various 'hooch bars' in a couple of our rooms were open for business. Being a medic and working shifts at the WAH ER during a support cycle could also be an issue when it came to music being played too loudly and trying to get some sleep at odd times of the day. My solution was to go out and get an 8 track tape of Native American chants - I'd put it in my stereo and turn up the volume, leave the room and lock the door, leave the barracks and return about a half hour later. The barracks would then be deserted, I'd turn off the tape and go to sleep.
If you've never heard such chants at full volume, you're in for a real auricular stimulating treat.
