The density of residential development in modern cities means compliance with local authority noise control criteria for licensed premises can present a significant challenge. Relaxed licensing hours and the need for outdoor smoking areas adds further potential for night-time noise impact in densely populated areas.
Noise control for outdoor events such as music festivals relies on accurate prediction, measurement, responsiveness and effective liaison. Rural residents tend to be less used to loud noise and so significant complaint is more common than in urban areas, even if the event only lasts a short time.
