[Neighbors] Loud music at UNM

Wed Apr 12 22:22:10 MDT 2017

I have nothing against music but this UNM event (which I long ago attended, too) has gotten louder and louder over the years with the goal it seems to just to see how much music can be turned into noise.  Way over here at Richmond and Coal it was like across the street and then there is the Isotopes game speakers which came in from time to time with it, and we hear them all season long.  The noise level in this part of the city has increased tremendously.  I have to speak to this because I live on the edge of Coal and day and night it is drag racing like vehicles tearing apart the neighborhood which should be a quiet zone.  This has gotten much worse with ART traffic being diverted onto Lead/Coal/Zuni (Zuni is often a mile long traffic jam of one lane of traffic hardly moving - this is not progress.  It is illegal to punish a whole group of people for the crimes of a few who drive irresponsibly).  We have been on a crash course with the city councilors and mayor who see our neighborhood not as a residential area but a traffic route for business to pass through (they even refuse to put back the “lights set to posted speed" signs that were there before the Lead/Coal rebuild).  We need some way to stop this trend.  The idea of a built environment is to control urban problems, not let them control us otherwise we are at the mercy of the loudest and most vile activity, as we are experiencing.  This is not an existential problem.

The issue is not about the music but the loudness of the music. I also live east of Carlisle and it sounded like it was in our neighbor's back yard. In 40 years, I've never heard it this loud before.  Urban sounds are urban sounds but there is such a thing as being considerate of others in the community. When people are ill or have various shift hours at work (nurses, doctors, EMTs, firefighters, police officers, etc) and are trying to get some shut eye before going to work  but can't sleep because of unacceptable noise levels, due to non-compliance by City standards, then there is a problem.
A little consideration and mindfulness from promoters of events and the bars will go a long way to not only a vibrantl community but a considerate one.

I agree - the music I heard when I was outdoors was quite good. I'm not sure how this got to be a pro or con thing. I'm pro - pro, pro, pro.
I would just like the high-dollar sound company - getting paid many thousands of dollars from UNM student fees - to dial back the subwoofer boost to where the bass-line doesn't shake windows a mile away. That's what's changed since many of us were rascally college students - the technology. And events at UNM, just like the bars on Central, will keep getting louder and louder and louder, not because "the kids just wanna have fun" but because someone is justifying their expensive subwoofer array. We got plenty of hearing damage on Johnson Field 30 years ago without it carrying east of Carlisle.

The music was amazing, unique, percussive and a big, free comfort from the comfort of my front porch and even later indoors!
