Reading festival noise
Discussion
I feel for the OP. Must be a devil trying to read the Daily Mail while listening to millennials enjoying themselves. How dare they.
I have a similar issue - a country estate behind me has brass bands churning out popular arrangements for old people, gammons and nationalists. Land of Hope and Glory (a germanic dirge), we'll meet again (the only song they seem to have played in WW2), Jerusalem etc etc. Sodding dreadful racket only made worse with the noise pollution of a spitfire going overhead in the afternoons to keep the senile happy (although they don't come down to the low levels they used to).
If these people romanticise and get all sentimental over the war why should every one else suffer? Plan is to help them remember the war and put and end to the infernal racket all in one go.
Just need a Messerschmitt and some bombs.

You consider that trolling.
It's a reasonable suggestion.
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?It's a reasonable suggestion.
Totally reasonable.
I'm about 1 mile away as the crow flies, and it's about the same volume as normal, maybe fractionally louder as I can actually make out the singing and some of the other sounds alongside the basic drumming boom booms. But that could just be down to wind direction and the fact there seems to be very little other noise going on around where I am as one of the local roads is closed meaning less traffic about.
OP is just being a delicate flower.

Can you really hear it 10/12 miles away??? Surely it must be just a faint background noise. Any outdoor concerts (much smaller venues) put on near where I live, probably carry sound about 1-2 miles as the crow flies until it reaches me, but it isn't that loud, disturbing or even that distinguishable as to what is actually playing.

Wind your neck in - stop complaining.
It's people like you that buy a house next to an established race track and complain about the noise.
Or an airport, boils my piss that does. Wind your neck in - stop complaining.

We live about 3 miles (as the crow flys) from Darley Moor race track just on the out skirts of Ashbourne and its hit and miss wether we hear them or not,

I can hear the local race track on occasion, I know the locals who live in the village have an organised committee to put pressure on them with good effect.
However, on the occasions that I can hear them, it sounds pretty epic. Gives the place a sense of atmosphere and enjoyment, the tingle in the air of people enjoying themselves. Makes me happy anyway.

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.
That's what I'd do. Knock on the door, bash a couple of them up and tell them to turn it off, it's gone 9 o'clock. Quo, Faces, Nazareth, Curved Air. Marvellous.

I saw Foo Fighters last year in London, right at the front. Ears were ringing for days. They're playing Reading this weekend. Loudest concert I've been to.
The real legal question is the negligence of concerts to their punters long term hearing.Gassing Station | Speed, Plod & the Law | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
