(b) the measurement of sound in each 1/3rd octave band between 40Hz and 160Hz when music is on (expressed as L10, 1 min) does not exceed the measurement of sound in the same 1/3rd octave bands between 40Hz and 160Hz when the music is off (expressed as L90, 5 min).
All measurements to be taken within the habitable room normally occupied at the time in question, using a Type 1 integrating-averaging sound level meter compliant with BS EN 60804, with either windows open for normal ventilation or closed, whichever situation causes greater noise disturbance.
Licensees are advised to carry out a simple ‘sound check’ outside the nearest noise sensitive property by listening to the music etc coming from regulated entertainment. If the music etc is clearly audible then it is likely that this condition is being breached. Steps should be taken to reduce the volume of the noise.
