Abstract | The methods and criteria for controlling music noise levels from late night entertainment has always been a controversial and highly debated topic. Since the early 1980s a subjective criterion of inaudibility has been commonly used in many parts of the UK. It has faced fierce criticism in many respects, such as in legal proceedings where it has been argued to not be compliant with the Licensing Act 2003. However, as no mainstream alternative has been adopted, the requirement for inaudibility continues to be used in many premises’ licences that are either for fixed or temporary sites, and for both indoor and outdoor events. This paper aims to evaluate recently proposed alternative methods and to start an open discussion on the topic of music and entertainment noise levels, particularly during late-night hours. |
