It could be heard from miles away
One of the organisers at this year's Download Festival, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a four-day long event at Donington Park, has said the music is "no louder than in previous years". Festival booker Andy Copping said he thinks it could instead be down to weather conditions.
Various theories have been put forward about why the music seems so loud at this year's events, including a new and improved sound system by Metallica, but Mr Copping said nothing had changed as regards the decibel level, reports Derbyshire Live. He said: "It's unfortunate, we do have complaints and remarks year in and year out, but this year has been no louder than in previous years.
North West Leicestershire District Council, which oversees the environmental impact of the event, including noise control, has information about the festival on its website, which reveals live music can be played on site up to 11pm and that sound tests are carried out each day before the events begins to help the sound levels to be set. Additionally, it says: "Our officers will monitor noise levels at key times during the event.
The most recent comments on social media included one person who wrote: "Such opposite ends of the spectrum, watching Barry Manilow on the BBC, then going outside to sing along to Metallica at Download, who I can hear in my back garden from miles away. Both excellent at what they do. Never limit your musical experiences."
