Where's the racket coming from?


Recommended Posts

Luckily I am hard of hearing and could hardly hear it so got a good nights sleep,the hard of hearing has been caused by years of rock concerts and playing loud guitar myself.Take heed you ravers you will end up deaf as well listening to music as loud as others are describing.Rave music was never my scene I prefer musical instruments in my music but the effect on my hearing was much the same.I also do not agree with all night music being played at such volume,slightly selfish I think.

Certainly seems like it's been reported over a large portion. Do you want to get a map and measure it to see what the actual proportion was?

 

The music was certainly heard over a very large area - from Ecclesfield to Burbage Moor (where only the bass could be heard). It did not wake me in Ecclesall but it must have been a difficult night for those closer by. A summer party is a lovely idea, but maybe they should lower the noise a bit.

For years & years (well over 20) there's been places out in the country that sound system would set up - they were out of everyone's way, there's minimum noise pollution and most people (bar the odd early morning jogger) wouldn't even know they were there - but the last few years seems to have seen more & more outdoor parties in sheffield itself - which just seems idleness on the sound systems part and with the inevitable keeping half of sheffield awake and all the problems that causes.

I've heard these raves for at least the last ten years on the hill at Wincobank, had my sleep disturbed on several occasions but always had a poor response from 101 as only a handful of people report. I think on sat night the wind must've been blowing in a different direction as we never heard a thing. Ironically this obviously generated hundreds of complaints, forcing SYP to actually acknowledge that this was going on (rather than pretend they don't). Believe me the council and SYP know exactly where these events are and who organises them. If people report future events as much as Saturday nights got called in then maybe this will force the hand of the authorities at last.

 

I've nothing against anyone having a good time or a party but the noise level is really excessive sometimes.

For several years recently there have been outdoor parties near Ringinglow - I think in Lady Cannings Plantation. They really were not noisy - a bit of bass, but the first most locals knew about it would be when all the exhausted and dishevelled youngsters started making their way home - an unlikely looking bunch trudging along Ringinglow Road or calling out a fleet of taxis. It was nice to see them on their way home from the party. Clearly it is possible to keep the party goers happy without keeping half the city awake.
