Actually,all good points. I was looking at it all backwards. ☺️

I think it’s good for us to remember that our goal
here is to not hear it.
Whether they are making structural changes or identifying the decibel level
at which we won’t hear it, either way it’s a win in my book. David, the
Sound Engineer, was explaining to me that both last night and Sunday winds
are blowing in the wrong direction or sound to be carried in our direction.
Their primary goal is to be able to educate the city about what needs to be
taken into consideration when Bowstring applies for a permit to go above
the decibel level designated in the ordinance. I’m not saying this is an
instant fix. We may still experience the need to raise the issue with the
city and/or Bowstring but I do think that the fact that they are paying
specific attention to this particular situation works in our favor.
Bowstring doesn’t want cops showing up any more than we want to be calling
them. If they are playing around with structural changes that keep that
from happening, I would imagine there would be incentive for them to keep
going with that approach, even after this monitoring weekend is over.
Fingers crossed.

I didn’t notice any music while inside on Nov. 14. Yay! If they’re paying
attention, then now they have some data on what is acceptable. Hopefully
this will continue.

I agree as well that they altered their setup
knowing they’d be
monitored.
Just had a good conversation with David, the acoustical engineer who
camped out in my backyard all night. I think it’s important to note in the
survey that tonight’s volume (or lack thereof) was unusual.
It is an iterative process - if the city sets a decibel level for the
permit and Bowstring changes their setup and gets loud again, we keep
complaining and force them to review the permit and its parameters.

They had a device set up in my yard this evening and I did hear
bowstring a few times. It wasn’t as loud as it normally is, but I did hear
it, inside my house. Hope that helps!

Seems to me, the study should be more randomized without the knowledge of
the party being monitored. Otherwise, it's useless data, in my opinion.

I heard the sound check this afternoon also. That
the volume tonight is
lower than this afternoon, I wondered if they knew about tonight’s
monitoring.

Hi all,
On the bowstring website, it looks like they're having 3 people/bands
playing reggae music, which is usually pretty chill.
I don't see anyone listed for tomorrow night. Please correct me if I
somehow got the wrong info. Are the bowstring people aware of the nights
they're giving us the survey?
Thanks,
Ashlyn

Lauren and I talked to the sound engineer this
afternoon. We are going
to get a link to a survey about what we experience from Bowstring tonight
and tomorrow night. If everyone can please spend a little time being around
after 5:30 on both nights, that would help you fill out the survey. They
will be asking for information about what you hear both from outside of
your houses as well as inside your houses.
Does anyone on here live near Timber and Barksdale or Timber and
Banks?They are looking for a location to set up a monitoring device. If so,
please text me off-line 919-961-6549.

They’ll be collecting data at a few locations and are also hoping neighbors
will be willing to answer a survey about our experiences during the data
collection days. I guess Bowstring will be having their last big shows this
weekend.
