A study commissioned by Northwestern University from an acoustics consulting firm found noise from proposed concerts would reach similar levels to those of football games.
Northwestern University on Wednesday released renderings of a schematic design for the new Ryan Field.
“We looked at the acoustics of the community by getting our boots on the ground with sound level meters to get what the ambient sound levels are,” WJHW Principal Greg Hughes said. “The measurements were taken on both game day and nongame day weekends.”Hughes said measurements were taken from the existing Ryan Field parking lot and throughout the neighborhood to “understand what we’re experiencing in the community” and “residential areas.
WJHW’s sound assessment predicts game day events’ sound levels to last six to eight hours and typical concerts to last three to four hours. It estimates concert noise levels in surrounding residential areas to range from 55 to 75 decibels A’s, which is similar to the stadium’s existing game day activities.
