  2. Between 1am until closing, noise emanating from the premises will not be distinguishable above background noise levels in any neighbouring residential property. (You should not be able to hear your music above normal background noise levels and only faintly hear it during lulls in background noise levels.)

  3.  Doors and windows at the front and rear of the premises will be kept shut during regulated entertainment. All doors and windows must be well fitted and sealed to minimize noise breakout. (All doors and windows should be fitted with acoustic or similar well fitting seals to improve sound retention qualities.)

The level at which the devices are set to be agreed with the Environmental Health Service, and should be fitted with compressor limiters to prevent the system being driven with sound levels above the preset limits. The limiters will be preset and then sealed when the system is commissioned so that the sound operators cannot override the limiter settings. All sound sources from the premises will go through the noise limiter).

  10. All speakers in the premises and other noise making equipment (including sub-woofers) with the DJ booths should be properly isolated, with appropriate noise absorbing materials from all walls, ceilings and floors to mitigate the effects of noise and vibration penetrating the structure into adjoining residential property (To prevent noise disturbance to neighbouring residential properties).

  11. The licensee or senior member of staff (Manager) will assess the impact of any noisy activities on neighbouring residential properties at the start of the activity/entertainment and periodically throughout the activity/entertainment and record these checks.
