Hongkongers 8km from music festival complain about noise although levels within limits on site

Hong Kong environmental authorities have received eight noise complaints related to a festival at the Central harbourfront over the weekend, while some residents 8km away in Wong Tai Sin and Tsz Wan Shan said they were disturbed by loud music.

The organiser of the S2O Hong Kong Songkran Music Festival said on Wednesday that it had hired staff to measure noise levels at different spots around the venue and “no serious exceedance” was recorded during the entire event.
