150,000 watts of amplification (90% of which is bass boost!) is Rock Noize (Remember Slade?) not Gospel Music to me! And when the same PA system is used over a week end for ages of a lone voice screaming "Repent! Repent! Repent! Repent! Repent! Repent! Repent! Repent! Repent! Repent! Repent! Repent! Repent! Repent! Repent!..." doesn't seem much like a MUSIC festival to me, let alone 'Gospel Music'... and when a 4 year old comes out of her bedroom asking 'Mummy, why do the Christians in the park hate me?" from what she hears inside her own bedroom from half a kilometre away...

If you really want to see want some neighbours think - PM me, and I'll give you some web pointers.. :-)

I made it publicly known that there would be noise meters in the neighbourhood suburbs this year, and the long time residents said it was much quieter! The noise permit said onsite max 70dB daytime, 50 dB after 10:30pm - 66dB daytime a kilometer away, shielded behind other houses, is a bit much! People working on site got headaches, and met with refusals to turn it down! I have said that maybe they are deaf as well as 'drunk on the spirit of the Lord!" :-)

But so much for thread drift (except for the fact that Easter may be seen as as an UNpleasant time by some!) - this really belongs in a 'Music vs Noise' thread.

Would LOVE the stickers!, Thanks! He may not be hard of hearing, but he may be tone deaf... :P
