From what I've read, they can only hear low frequencies and sense vibrations. I don't think loud music would bug him too much unless you have the sub woofer cranked up.

Actually, as far as I know, chameleons don't have ears period. However, the vibrations from loud music will still disturb them. Just put them far enough away that they won't feel it.

Chameleons can hear low frequency sounds and sense vibrations. These wavelengths travel long distances and putting the speakers far away won't help much at all as loud music will still effect them. They use vibrations and low frequency sounds to communicate so they will be stressed by it.
