Event Noise Monitoring

Event Noise Management

RV Acoustics can design, present and implement an effective pro-active Noise Management Strategy to satisfy and meet the outdoor entertainment licensing criteria of the Local Authority. RV Acoustics have worked all over the UK managing noise from wedding venues and beer festivals, to large scale outdoor events and stadiums include Tom Jones, Paloma Faith, Simply Red, etc.

RV Acoustics will assist throughout the event process including:

  • Basic Feasibility Study

    – a desktop study to check the event is possible from a noise perspective.

  • Noise Management Plan for local authority

    – often required 3 months prior to event.

  • Sound check monitoring

    – this is often the first opportunity to establish objective and representative noise levels by conducting a sound propagation test.

  • Live on-site and off-site event noise monitoring

    – RV Acoustics have fully qualified staff operating the latest professional acoustic equipment. We always monitor the music noise levels during the event both onsite and offsite to ensure compliance, and deal with any issues effectively.

  • Stage construction and break down monitoring

    – some local authorities will insist on noise monitoring during any stage construction/break down during night time hour.

  • Post event noise management report

    –  provided to demonstrate compliance with your event license requirements for the purpose of the Safety Advisory Group (SAG) debrief meeting.  The report will include a noise survey timeline, equipment spec and calibration certificates, noise monitoring locations map, etc.

Having studied as a Sound Engineer, worked in Environmental Health as a regulator, and working as an Acoustic Consultant, I am skilled in liaising with councils and aware of what is expected. Demonstrating a pro-active event noise management strategy to the local authority is not only key to getting approval, but also reduces the risk of noise complaints significantly affecting any future applications.
