This summer, the iAcoustics team supported two major live events, providing environmental noise monitoring for Zach Bryan’s concerts in Cork and Belfast.
While thousands of fans enjoyed the performances, our role was to monitor environmental noise throughout each event, providing organisers with real-time information to help manage noise levels and demonstrate compliance with licence requirements.
It’s a service that often goes unnoticed by concertgoers, but it’s an important part of delivering successful outdoor events.
Environmental noise monitoring involves measuring noise levels at agreed locations before, during and after an event. Using calibrated equipment, acoustic consultants collect real-time data that helps organisers understand how the event is performing against agreed noise limits.
Rather than waiting until after an event to review data, live monitoring allows organisers to respond quickly if required, helping minimise the impact on nearby residents while maintaining the audience experience.
Large concerts and festivals bring thousands of people together, creating memorable experiences for audiences and valuable economic benefits for local areas. At the same time, organisers have a responsibility to manage the impact these events may have on surrounding communities.
Environmental noise monitoring helps by:
For many events, it’s not simply a recommendation. It’s a key part of responsible event management.
At iAcoustics, we work closely with event organisers, production teams and local authorities to deliver professional noise monitoring services that fit the needs of each event.
Whether it’s a stadium concert, outdoor festival, sporting event or community celebration, our experienced consultants provide reliable monitoring, clear reporting and practical advice throughout the event.
Our work on the Zach Bryan concerts in Cork and Belfast is just one example of how effective acoustic monitoring helps events run smoothly while balancing entertainment with environmental responsibility.
If you’re organising a concert, festival or other live event and require environmental noise monitoring, we’d be happy to help.
