[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 99138, member: 30"] Re: Improving perceived loudness when system is constrained And often with "noise complaints", it is not always the actual level (SPL). But often just the fact that the person complaining can even HEAR any noise-even if the actual level is a good bit lower than ambient. Often with nightclubs-it could be that the complainer does not like the music they play or the "type" of people that go there-so they make a complaint if they can hear it at all-nevermind the fact that you may or may not be able to easily "measure" it. Depending on the tool you use-the noise may not even show up in a simple SPL measurement. So often there is a lot more to noise complaints than just noise or SPL. So as with everything else in troubleshooting-FIRST you have to ACCURATELY define the problem-THEN look for solutions to THAT problem. General solutions-without a defined problem/goal in mind are usually a waste of time. [/QUOTE]
