The issue of noise pollution due to large outdoor (and sometimes indoor) entertainment events has become increasingly problematic, with a significant number of festivals and other events taking place in centrally-located areas that are often under strict noise regulations. The AES Technical Committee on Acoustics and Sound Reinforcement (TC-ASR) formed a study group in 2018 to examine topics related to this form of noise pollution. This session will be led by members of the AES TC-ASR study group, where the group’s initial findings will be presented, covering areas such as noise regulations, guidelines and prediction techniques, audience level regulations, practical measurement methods, and sound system design (primary and secondary) for limited noise spill while maintaining a high-quality audience experience.
