Reading festival noise

[anonymous-user]

Being a grumpy fit now but I'm 10+ miles away from reading festival and I can hear the stty music in my front room.

There must be a max noise level? I dont remember this im previous years.

How would you even complain?

Grump out...

[bad company]

It could just be the wind direction making it sound louder this year.

You could complain to the local council, ours opens for noise complaints at weekends but for an annual event like that I wouldn’t hold out much hope.

I’d buy some noise cancelling headphones and listen to your own stuff.

I lived 12 miles away and we used to be able to hear it in the garden.

Once a year. I wouldn't worry, even though such events are not my 'scene'.

It's the reassuring sound that the world is still turning.

Did you buy before 1971?

Shut your windows, cook yourself a full English and enjoy the weekend.

Quite impressive for the sound to travel 10+ miles.

It can't be that loud?

I am in the suck it up camp. A little inconvenience once a year isn't the end of the world.

Rev your car in the driveway. That'll show em.

Perhaps you should "Go away" on holiday whilst the noisy festival is on......

You consider that trolling.

It's a reasonable suggestion.

This isn't going to go down well, Peri.



ETA It didn't.

Form vigilante groups to smash up the site and beat up festival goers. That's what blokes at work were suggesting in the Seventies. I kept quiet and didn't say I was going.

Quo, Faces, Nazareth, Curved Air. Marvellous.

Haha worth a go!

For fks sake, it's on for three days a year. What's wrong with other people enjoying themselfes, you can go and enjoy the other 362 days.

Have you ever thought about how much noise you make that effects other people? Lawn mowers? Kids? Music? Cars? Trains? Airplanes? sporting events? Shopping precincts? All part of lifes rich tapestry that we all have to live with.

OH, and I hope the pub you're going to is in the middle of nowhere or you'll be upsetting the local residents there!

(and yes, I do live within 10 miles of reading festival, and no I wouldn't think of ever going!)

Really? So I should plan a holiday on the off chance a festival, in another town that has never caused an issue over the last several years might be louder?

Totally reasonable.
