Question 36495 — arts and entertainment

Summary

Ms. Fabienne Colboc draws the attention of the Minister of Culture to the application of “sound” decree No. 2017-1244 of August 7, 2017 relating to the prevention of risks linked to noise and amplified sounds. This decree was signed with the aim of preventing hearing risks incurred by the public at amplified music concerts and to preserve the tranquility of local residents. It limits sound levels in places accessible to the public at 102 db(A) and 118 db(C) with more restrictive limitations for activities specifically intended for children. Professional performing arts organizations are raising difficulties and legal insecurities linked to the terms of application of the decree. Indeed, these new noise limitations are complex to implement for professionals in the sector, but also for communities, while preserving the artistic diversity of the works. In January 2020, Minister Franck Riester announced the reopening of discussions on the decree at the International Biennials of Performing Arts in Nantes. She would like to know if the Minister plans to make modifications and clarifications to the “Sound” decree in order to facilitate its application by performing arts professionals.
