More than turning it down
Modern event noise management involves much more than simply turning speakers down.
Successful events combine:
- Noise modelling
- Sound system design
- Sound level limits
- Real-time monitoring
- Communication with sound engineers
- Community engagement
- Complaint management procedures
Many large events now use remote monitoring systems that allow noise levels to be viewed in real time from multiple locations across a city. This allows adjustments to be made before complaints occur.
Good event noise management aims to strike a balance between:
- Creating a great audience experience
- Protecting nearby residents from unreasonable impacts
