Forget the loopholes. As Stephen has said, the clause is almost
certainly unenforceable. Which raises the question, why didn't Andrew's
solicitors read the lease and point out the clause, if only to let the
other party's solicitors know that it should have been struck out.

Well, my mum is out of the county for a few days, so I spent all of 
today sitting in my old bedroom, singing my lungs out.

You wouldn't believe it could take 5 hours to record 5 minutes of 
vocals, would you? (Or... perhaps you would... IDK.)

Now I'm trying to mix them nicely. Trouble is, if I apply an aggressive 
compander, it makes all the harmonies the same loudness, but every time 
I stop singing, it amplifies the hell out of the background hiss! I 
wonder if there's some way I can cut out all the noise...

There is. It is called a "noise gate" or simply "gate".
