Óbuda Residents Report High Noise Levels from Sziget Festival

Budapest, Hungary – Residents in Óbuda have raised concerns over noise levels emanating from the Sziget Festival, with one local reporting decibel readings significantly higher than the festival's stated limits. A video uploaded by a resident, somfaipeter, shows a smartphone application measuring noise at approximately 72 decibels around 12:30 AM, from a distance of about 3 kilometers in Óbuda. This figure reportedly exceeds the festival's commitment to maintain noise levels at 65 decibels before 11 PM and 55 decibels after. The video, which has garnered significant attention online, poses the question to viewers: "Do you think this is normal?" Comments on the video reflect a divided public, with some residents echoing complaints about the disturbance, while others express tolerance for the annual event, suggesting that the inconvenience is minor given the festival's importance. Experts note that smartphone decibel meters may not provide precise, calibrated measurements, but they can offer an indication of ambient noise levels. The ongoing discussion highlights the perennial challenge of balancing major cultural events with the well-being of nearby communities.
