@eibart I do think this should be taken into consideration, and I like that you raise the point about different spiecies having different hearing capabilities. Too often, this issue is discussed in a too anthropocentric manner.
But actually, sounds (i.e. dance music) that may be deeply disturbing to some human ears does not necessarily affect most animals. And the other way around: many human activities emit ultra- and infrasound that we do not even hear, but may be very disturbing for certain animals. We also have the issue of light pollution hurting insects, bats etc.
All taken together, I do think that also in socio-ecological terms this kind of underground community culture is a positive alternative to the inner-city commercial nightlife industry.
In addition, I suspect that by attending this type of open-air parties, people also cultivate their appreciation for nature and become more willing to defend Stockholm's forests against exploitation.
