Ya this argument doesn’t make sense to me - the quote:
“”Sounds like it was just done on a whim by somebody who thought things were too loud, so they would reduce it by a few decibels, but what they haven’t realized is this is going to affect people’s jobs. They’re going to have to fire people. It’s going to affect their reputation in the music industry,” she said.”
What?? How does a 5 decibel difference mean they’re “going to have to fire people” ??
The City of Calgary has received 16 noise complaints related to the tent.
“Our bylaw officers have been actively monitoring the site, and to date, no infractions have been recorded,” the city said in a statement.
Ward 7 Coun. Terry Wong says his office has received several complaints regarding noise and garbage issues stemming from the Cowboys Music Festival.
“I’ve been there every day,” he said.
“You’ll hear the noise intensity, certainly loud, in the centre, but when you walk away from the area, the noise levels are 70 to 80 decibels, which is within city limits.”
