PARTY TIPS: NOISE AND THE LAW
PARTY NOISE AND THE LAW
One of the most contentious issues when it comes to your party is how much noise you can make and when can you make it.
Music brings life and excitement to an event – we highly recommend you have music! Parties with killer playlists or live music are always ones we remember best and your guests will too!
However, loud music can be upsetting to you neighbours – so knowing when you can play loud music and how to reduce how much your neighbours hear is key to keeping every one happy.
For this purpose see the NSW Government: for the latest in noise requirments.
In short here are few other suggestions on how to make sure your party doesn’t disturb others for instance
Notify your neighbours in advance.
Tell them about your party plans. Give them your contact details so that they can contact you directly (rather than the police) with any concerns. Having advance warning may reduce concerns on the night of your party
For instance
Ask guests to be quiet when they leave.
Move indoors.
As the evening gets later, move music and guests inside.
Lastly be considerate with your sound system.
Make sure your speakers are not facing towards a neighbour. Also think about turning down the bass as this is often what bothers neighbours.
With this in mind, there’s no reason you can’t have a rockin’ time while your neighbours get a good nights rest.
