I think it's most likely becuase people don't notice that their eyes are
being burned by electromagnetic radiation becuase they don't feel any pain,
whereas the extremely loud noise causes an instant reaction of trying to
cover something up. And yes, I agree that you should wear eye protection,
although it is difficult to get large amounts of glasses that are qualified
to protect you against all the dangers thigns that could occur to distribute
to a large audience if you are doing a demo.
