Ts don't actually "hear", they sense vibration. I have a couple of guitars and 100 watt Marshall half stack and they don't seem to mind. Keep the mealworms in the fridge and they will last quite a while

I have two guitars and the vibrations don’t seem to affect the tarantulas at all.

The two things that I find they respond to, low frequencies and high frequencies.

My P ornata male gets all jiggy when I crumple up envelopes with glassing Windows or tear the plastic off of shrink wrapped boxes.

My T violaceous comes out of his hide and goes on walkabout when I play Def Leppard. Every. Single. Time.

Heavy bass and crinkling paper. Try it.

They definitely can hear- In my experiences with wolf spiders, particularly geolycosa, they definitely react to whistles with severity. This is likely because they bask during spring and winter and theyre susceptible to attacks by birds. In the end, all hearing really is, is detecting vibrations. In fact we use cilia in our ears much the same way a spider utilizes its trichobothria to detect sound.
