“Risk for hearing damage at the church concert”

“the Volume was so high at a concert in a kyrkolokal in Gothenburg that parts of the crowd ran great risk of hearing damage, reports Göteborgs-Posten.”

“Now the management of the environment added a penalty payment of sek 150 000 as the owner of the syriac orthodox church building in the district of Bergsjön have to pay if the sound comes up in similar levels again.”

“It was during a performance with the iraqi star Mohammed Alfares as the volume reached a maximum value at 119 decibels and a mean of 100 decibels. The maximum permitted levels, with children in the premises, 110 and 97 decibels.”

” It is very serious, especially when there were children in the audience. All it takes is a second of a very high maximum value for it to produce hearing damage, ” says miljöinspektören Yusra Moshtat to the GP.”

“the property owner is dissatisfied and believes that the responsibility should be on the organizer.”
