Question 11087 — nuisance

Summary

Mr. Philippe Chassaing draws the attention of the Minister of Culture to the subject of Decree No. 2017-1244 of August 7, 2017 relating to the prevention of risks linked to noise and amplified sounds. Members of the AGI-SON collective came to express their concerns about the application of this decree which risks disrupting the world of music. Several topics were discussed. First, lowering the dB(A) limit from 105 to 102 decibels and the new consideration of dB(C), produced by low frequency music, the limit of which is set at 118 decibels. However, dB(C) are very present in certain aesthetics such as electronic music or reggae among others. Thus, this music generally exceeds the limit of 118 dB(C), and this risks leading music professionals to the following dilemma: complying with the risks censoring certain musical aesthetics or avoiding this censorship but then becoming illegal. Secondly, this decree provides that the new limits must be measured in “any place accessible to the public”. Currently, measurements are established on averages, from now on they must be the same for everyone, whether you are in front of the stage or on the opposite side. This compliance of the rooms broadcasting amplified music risks having a significant cost for music professionals, which makes them worried. Consequently, he asks it to best support professionals in the sector by creating consultations so that everyone, institutional actors, health actors and music professionals, have participated in the reflection on the implementation of this decree and that they respond to concerns supported by the Agi-Son association.
