Shipping containers to reduce noise

14th April 2011

A GIANT wall is currently being constructed around the Easterfest Mainstage to help curb the noise from Australia's biggest drug and alcohol free music festival.

The wall of shipping containers will be 100 metres long by five metres high when finished.

While Easterfest brings in tens of thousands of visitors each year, many Toowoomba residents near Queens Park have complained about the noise coming from the festival.

The Mainstage will be shut down by 9.30pm each night of the festival with some indoor venues operating until midnight.

"Our noise control measures will not stop all the amplified noise, however, we hope that the wall will reduce some of the bottom end rumble for those who live closest to the park," Easterfest CEO Isaac Moody said.

"If the wall is successful in helping control the noise, we will look at expanding the use of shipping containers for noise control in the future."

A notice of park closure levels and noise precautions has been mailbox-dropped to residents who live close to Queens Park.

Yes and they build resonant chambers on guitars to mute the noise NOT! If these containers are packed with lead and concrete, that would work, but hollow steel resonant containers will make the noise problem wider! Don't these clowns know ANYTHING about Sound, or have they addled their brains with all that loud noise!!!
