Hi,
I am helping a (neighbourhood) organization. This
organization has noticed that around ten bars have
opened within a six month period in their neighbo(u)r-
hood. Almost all houses in the neighborhood,
without regard to their sizes, are very close together.
(Actually they are arranged next to each other). All
of these houses have a small or large patio, depending
on their size. Some house owners have rented some
of these houses to run bars at night. Not all houses
next to any of these bars have tenants or are occupied,
but most bars have neighbors living close by.
These bars are allowed to have music up to a certain
decibel level, but they are not being checked all the
time by the authorities. Members of our organization
are concerned because there are neigbors who feel
bothered at night and they can not sleep propperly
or at all. The perceived loudness is not every day, but
three to four days of the week.
I wonder how the city officials measure loudness, or
I wonder what could it be the best way to measure
loudness? Is loudness measured by decibels?
How expensive are these decibel-measurer, (is that
their name?). Perhaps the organization I am helping
can afford one. Which would be a brand and/or
modell you would recommend?
Perhaps these decibel-measurers can be attached to
any of the walls in these bars and the decibels'
information recorded during a night can be recorded
and stored to be analized by the neighbors, city officials
and bar owners. Perhaps these decibel-measures can
keep a decibel level that is satisfying for all the parties
involved.
Any ideas or suggestions will be very appreciated to
go about solving this situation.
Thank you, kind regards,
