What are the guidelines for sound levels?
We closely monitor and measure noise levels at every event in be•at's venues with a decibel meter. Should the need arise, we take appropriate measures to reduce noise levels.
We use a rolling average over a 60-minute period. This means there may be peaks above the legal limit, but the average noise level over a 60-minute period will be limited to the legal limit.
These peaks are often caused by loud applause or encouragement from the public. Besides the volume of the music and the distance to a speaker, there are therefore other factors that determine the sound level in the venue.
