Entertainment Noise Assessment


4 Results and Discussion
 4.1 Summary of findings
 No major acoustical issues were identified during testing.                                          G51 Check Item 47 ☐


 The calculated maximum allowable noise level associated with amplified
 entertainment (with the façade fully closed and entry only via the sound
 lock) is expected to be sufficient to host amplified entertainment at a
 “nightclub” level, during all approved operating times.

 With the façade fully open, the calculated maximum allowable noise level
 associated with amplified entertainment is expected to be sufficient for
 general background music during all approved operating times.

 Due to the amount of urban activity and extraneous noise from traffic,
 pedestrians etc. in the vicinity of the subject site, it may be difficult for the
 licensee to monitor compliance at the CEMLs. It is recommended that
 compliance be monitored primarily at the SPLA.



 4.2 Recommended noise limits
 4.2.1 Close External Monitoring Locations
 Presented below are the summarised noise limits at the CEMLs, based upon the calculations
 provided in Appendix B – Calculation Summaries. The limits presented indicate the calculated
 level limit for the venue operating configuration as described in Section 3.7. Measurements
 should be made at the CEML in either dBA (before 10:00PM) or dBC (after 10:00PM) using
 ‘Fast’ time weighting.
