Pub Next Door - Noisy Bouncy Castle

[BelfastBlack]

The specific guidance the pub need to operate to is BS 4142: Methods for rating and assessing industrial and commercial sound. This deals with plant noise impacting on residential receptors and quantifies the likelihood of compliant due to plant noise.

If the council deem it so, the pub would need to pay for an assessment to be carried out by a qualified acoustic consultant to ensure the noise from all plant (rating level) is equal to or less than the background noise level at your property. The rating level is the measured noise level plus any penalties for a feature of the sound such as tonality. The cost of this assessment is approx £2500 which will include outline mitigation options.

The easiest solution is for them to move the plant as far from your property as possible and to upgrade the enclosure they are currently using. Heavier material combined with absorbent material on the internals will cut down the noise level although this may not be possible due to air supply and exhaust of a generator.

I carry out this work on a daily basis so please let me know if you have any questions.

Ask him if he would use this, if not buy one its cheap enough if not make one from marine ply to the same spec

Go round to the pub and have a few pints, that'll take your mind off it. If you have one too many pints they might even let you on the bouncy castle as well, win win situation.

That's just the advice I was looking for, thank you.

Jimmy Johnstone (wee jinky), he was so good he could control the ball in a bouncy castle.

Jim Baxter (Slim Jim), he was so pissed he could walk a straight line in a bouncy castle.

While sympathising with the OP somewhat, Pubs are having a hard time lately, and when pubs shut down because they have been subject to complaints, the community generally realises that having a boarded up pub in the community is not a good look. Pubs need to do more and more to attract families from opening up early in the morning for coffee to having bouncy castles, which no matter how noisy must be better than a run down boozer with meth heads as a clientele.

If I was running a pub and its survival depended on having a bouncy castle outside, I'd torch the place.

But the hyperactive little darlings must be allowed to express themselves & work off the excess energy as a result of too many crisps & sweets. All this whilst thicko mummy & daddy are getting drunk before going home to do some more breeding.
It's all about children these days.
Go to a National Trust property & they are running around screaming & shouting.
Stay at a nice hotel & they will be under your feet as you try to enjoy a quiet dinner or some peace in a lounge.
Your local Costa coffee shop will be cluttered with packs of mummies taking up several tables & you'll trip over the 4x4 buggies.
Live next to a pub that needs to widen its customer base by attracting young families then what do you expect?

Not that this helps you, but my best memories of visiting my gran and grandad was at a local pub with a bouncy castle. I loved it. Its now a tesco express. So give it 5 years. Youll have 15 underage yobs in your front garden asking people to buy them drink.

Is the pub owned by a brewery?

If it is, speak to the landlord first, and if you can't arrive at satisfactory resolution acceptable to both parties speak to the brewery. Failing that then speak to the licensing authorities. Failing that use the air rifle.

Noisy uncontrolled brats running around pubs are a real PITA. But using an air rifle against the little $ods is perhaps taking things a bit too far?

They got planning permission to build a pub, next door to where people were already living?

Hmmmmm

I like this sign

I was in an art gallery the other day and they were running a kiddies' drawing class in one of the galleries. Not sure I can think of two activities less well suited to taking place in the same room at the same time!

Ask him if his public liability insurance covers bouncy castles

Then get him to google this

"bouncy castle blows away"

The first few hits will have it back in the box

Drill through the wall into the enclosure that houses the fan. Connect into the power supply and run your house etc from it.
Free power should help console the noisy fan distress

I hired a bouncy castle for my 4 year olds birthday. The fan was just run from a 13a socket but the noise was really bloody annoying!

and there I was expecting the use of expanding foam

[ellingtj]

Constant fan sound, I'd be asleep in seconds, lovely!
My present bedtime listening:

[Wait Here Until Green Light Shows]

Some of the people on this thread are clearly as dumb as the Charlie's army Facebook lot

What part of "I'm fine living next to a Pub, it's just the noisy fan bolted to my wall that is a tad annoying" don't you understand?
That said...I'm not sure what we can do. I'd be having a chat with the landlord myself.

[Sa Calobra]

I'd move.

I take it you two didn't have childhoods? Or kids? I don't always want screaming, uncontrolled kids in the pub when I want a natter with my mates, but in my local, they do the 'family' thing and have a play area. My (further) local is a perfectly quiet, proper small town pub that also happens to do amazing food and a a real fire in winter!

You want a quiet art gallery, go in the school holidays! You want a quiet pub? Find one with real ale, no play area, nothing mainstream and definately no bouncy castles!
