Abstract
The problem of noise in bars is critical and it has increased in residential areas where urban development plans often do not consider this kind of pollutant when granting the municipal license for these entertainment venues. Part of the problem is failure in applying specific land management policies to enable peaceful coexistence between entertainment premises and neighbors. This paper presents the results of a noise study in a bar and the neighboring area where dwellers complain about elevated noise that restrain their rest. Within premises equivalent continuous sound level (LAtt) ranged from 77.4-82.9 dB A in at least 50% of measuring time. Concerning the residential area, LAtt ranged from 52.0 -58.0 dB A and occasionally reached maximum levels of 68 -73 dB A. Recorded levels in the residential area do not comply with Mexican law of 50 dB A to guarantee a peaceful atmosphere for residents to rest and enjoy their homes.
