How well do chameleons handle noise? My room mate and I have a 100 gallon aquarium in the house that she just bought. We want to get a chameleon, but her boyfriend is going to be playing his drums and guitars down there also. This probably wouldn't be more than once or twice a week, but I don't know how much stress they can handle. Any thought? Sorry if this is a repeat, but I don't know if the last one went through.

Glass aquariums are a no-no for chams. Screend enclosures are MUCH better.

Secondly VIBRATION moreso than SOUND would affect a chameleon. Ive been near drum sets while someones wailing on them--every bone in my body rattled. Drums = major vibration!

This would seriously stress out a chameleon. Even once in awhile.

Maybe have a temp cage for your cham when they are practicing drums?
