Abstract
D.L. Adams Associates has recently worked on two outdoor music venue projects, both in close proximity to residences in which venue owners were concerned about noise impact to the neighboring community. The first project involved the renovation of a city owned garden with the addition of a large stage and audience area. Residences are located within 450 feet of the proposed stage. Modeling was completed to evaluate noise impact, and mitigation recommendations were provided. The second project involved a privately owned sports facility which was leased to provide an Electronic Dance Music (EDM) festival over the course of a weekend. After reading about complaints of many such EDM festivals, the facility Owner wanted to understand the potential noise impact to the neighbors prior to the event. Environmental noise modeling of the facility and anticipated musical acts was completed to predict sound levels in the surrounding neighborhoods and demonstrate to the facility Owner the potential for complaints from the festival.
