Noise is an unwanted sound but in the music industry its the commodity of trade. Noise is constantly produced in the music industry and musicians get exposed to noise when recording, at concerts, clubs, discos and performances. We know for certain that music bands (rock) produce as much as 105 - 111db of sound. Safe noise levels should not exceed 85db and it takes 16hours for the ear to revert to normal after exposure to loud sounds. Continuous exposure would compromise hearing function and the ear might not get up to 16 hours to fully recover before another bout. Noise causes hearing impairment and could lead deafness. Hearing ability is a prerequisite to function as an artist in the music industry, you need to hear yourself out to get paid. Do all you can to stay in and protect your hearing ability.
