Game. Is it too loud at Lexand’s home matches?
At least that’s what the person who filed a complaint with the Leksand Municipal Environment Unit thinks.
– I am rarely surprised, but this complaint makes me so. We may have to band together and buy peltor covers for those who feel it’s a problem, says Niklas Neva-Cioqvist, president of Leksands Superstars.
Sports are passions and so is ice hockey.
The crowd does their part to help the favored team with cheers, cheers and expressions of emotion, and it can be difficult to rein in when the referee thinks something the home fans may not think is most appropriate.
Often with emotion comes higher volume in the form of aggressive screaming or banging.
And now a visitor to a hockey game at the Tegera Arena has reacted and filed a complaint with the environmental unit of Leksand municipality.
The environmental inspector, in turn, served Leksands IF and Superstars with the complaint.
“The Environmental Protection Unit has received complaints about loudness at hockey games. This is especially true of the bass from the drum, which must be annoying when it sounds for longer periods of time. This causes problems for some visitors despite the use of earplugs.”
Leksand Superstars: “Devastating Consequences”
The inspector later wrote that the operator must control the process so that no inconveniences to people’s health appear.
– I just saw the e-mail a little quickly and I myself work in the municipality and understand that the official should act according to practice and this is how our democracy and bureaucracy works in the municipality, says Niklas Niva-Cioqvist, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Leksands Superstars.
But he also worries about the consequences of such complaints for the circuit’s experiences in entertainment and sport.
– You can see the complaint as a joke, but the consequences for all public events can be devastating, Neva Siukvist explains.
Public Health Agency Board
Leksand fans don’t intend to be quieter or lower their volume.
– It is rare for me to be surprised, but now I was. I think you need to be a little more aware of the event you’re attending. And if you choose a standing seat, it might look a little more like a seat on the other side of the map. We all got a little bored from this day and joked that we could pool together and buy peltor tops for visitors who feel the noise from heels is too loud, he says.
In accordance with the advice of the Public Health Agency, the sound level in buildings where children and adults reside should not be more than 97dB as the average value and the highest level should not exceed 110dB.
