"It was noisy in the morning and noisy in the evening, and several loudspeakers were very loud, which seriously affected the normal life ...... of the residents in our communityRecently, Ms. Jiang, who lives in Guangsha Classic Community, Jiulongpo District, Chongqing, reported to the upstream news (report mailbox: baoliaosy@163The reporter reported that every morning and evening, several groups of Ba Ba dance troupes and singing troupes gathered in Kowloon Square, and their earth-shattering roar made the surrounding residents miserable.
On February 1, the new version of the "Chongqing Noise Pollution Prevention and Control Measures" was officially implemented, and the owners of the communities involved wanted to appeal through upstream news: "Multiple departments work together to solve the problem of excessive volume of 'dam dance'." ”
The owner reflected: the noise of the dam dance and open-air KTV exceeded the standard.
Ms. Jiang, who lives in the classic community of Guangsha next to Kowloon Square, has been annoyed for a long time. "Downstairs is a public event venue, as long as it doesn't rain, every morning from 8 to 10 o'clock in the morning, 7 to 9 o'clock in the evening, the square baba dance and open-air KTV lovers will show up on time. The team has also grown from more than 10 people to more than 100 people today, and the noise emitted by the amplifier has seriously affected the lives of nearby residents, especially for the children who need to complete their homework after school. Weekends are literally noisy from morning to night. Mr. Chen, the owner of the community, also reported to reporters that the square was too noisy and disturbed his rest.

At noon on February 3, upstream news reporters came to the Guangsha Classic Community and learned that the community was adjacent to Kowloon Square and there was no shelter in the middle. Four public signs printed with the "Regulations on the Management of Kowloon Square in Jiulongpo District, Chongqing" were erected around Kowloon Square, and banners with the slogan "Noise disturbs people's health, behaves appropriately and reduces stress" was hung in the middle of the square. At this time, no one in Kowloon Square danced and sang open-air KTV, and the on-site decibel detection screen showed "noise 49."0 dB".
Ms. Jiang said: "At present, there are two groups, and the 'Heart to Heart' and 'Three Don't Plus' have not come, so the noise in the square has been reduced a lot. But I heard that 'Heart to Heart' will come back after the New Year (February 24), and 'Three Don't Plus' will come back in March. When the time comes, they can't control the noise again. ”
At noon on February 4, Kowloon Square, there was no Ba Ba dance and singing team, and the noise detector showed 49 decibels, which was lower than the upper limit of 60 decibels during the day in the square. Photo by upstream news reporter Feng Shengyong
Mr. Sun, director of the community's owners' committee, told reporters: "The owners of the community are plagued by noise pollution in Kowloon Square. After coordination again and again, the time was finally controlled in the morning and evening, and the relevant functional departments also set up a number of noise monitoring decibel meters for monitoring. Although there is time control and decibel monitoring, due to the long-term competition between the Ba Ba Dance Troupe and the use of various electronic audio equipment, the noise emitted during their activities is more than 60 decibels for a long time, and even reaches more than 80 decibels, and the instantaneous noise can reach more than 90 decibels. Excessive emission of social noise has seriously affected the normal life and residence of the people around the square. ”
The masses are hotly discussed: the dam dance disturbs the people and should be restrained and managed.
Upstream news reporters logged on to the official website of the Chongqing Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment to search and saw that on July 18, 2023, the "Chongqing Central Urban Sound Environment Functional Zone Classification Plan (2023)" was released, of which Kowloon Plaza and its surroundings belong to the scope of Class 2 sound environment functional areas. According to the mandatory national standard "Acoustic Environment Quality Standard" (GB 3096-2008), the noise limit of Class 2 sound environment functional areas is 60 decibels during the day (daytime) and 55 decibels at night.
The dam dance at Kowloon Square at night, the noise detector showed 722 decibels, exceeding the nighttime limit of 55 decibels. Photo courtesy of the interviewee
From the day and night ** provided by Ms. Jiang, there are people dancing in the square and some singing open-air KTV. At the location of Ms. Jiang's home balcony shooting, you can clearly hear the high-frequency rhythm sound of the audio emission, so that the number of the on-site decibel detector focused in ** has been maintained above 75 decibels. Ms. Jiang said: "It exceeded the standard by 10 decibels during the day and more than 20 decibels at night. ”
Regarding the problem of excessive emissions from singing and dancing in Kowloon Square, on the afternoon of February 3, many people walking here expressed their opinions. Aunt Qian, a citizen who is a fan of dam dance, said: "The venue here is big, so you have to be louder. Because there are more than a dozen teams, everyone has their own territory and a sound that is the size of a 26-inch suitcase, this kind of sound is not only loud, rhythmic, comfortable to hear, popular gathered, dancing and singing to the fullest! A resident who likes open-air KTV singing said: "The singing and dancing in this place has existed for a long time, and it has been ending on time in accordance with the regulations after the standard, and the sound has also adjusted the orientation, not facing the Guangsha classic community, and the volume is not large, and now this does not affect the lives of residents." Another resident who likes to dance the dam dance also said: "Some people don't like to dance the dam dance loudly, just turn down the volume, they are all middle-aged and elderly people exercise." Uncle Chen, a citizen, said: "Of course, you can dance and sing songs, but you can't do it willfully, you still have to abide by the law and abide by the rules." Regardless of the sound facing **, if the sound is loud enough to seriously affect the normal life of others, it will exceed the standard! Shouldn't excessive noise be restrained and managed? ”
Ms. Jiang, the owner of Guangsha Classic Community, said: "We don't allow them to dance and sing, we just ask the volume to be turned down and not to disturb the people. The owners of our community also went to stop it. In the past, they did turn down the volume when coordinating, but it didn't take long for them to go their own ......wayLater, everyone had a conflict over ......”
Law enforcement agencies: Excessive emission noise cannot be solved into a stubborn problem.
The masses have the right to choose healthy exercise, and residents also have the right to rest without being disturbed by others, so how do the relevant departments standardize management? On February 3, upstream news reporters saw from the notice board of the "Regulations on the Management of Jiulong Square, Jiulongpo District, Chongqing" set up in Jiulong Square, "Article 4: Groups and individuals who exercise and recreation in the square ......When carrying out fitness and entertainment activities that are prone to noise pollution, such as dam dancing and singing, the opening hours of the activities should be strictly followed, and the volume should not exceed 60 decibels. ”

On February 4, the staff of the Jiulongpo District Urban Management Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Detachment of Jiulongpo District, Kowloon Square District, told reporters: "At night, there are multiple dam dance teams in this square, and each other relies on turning up the loudspeaker to declare sovereignty. Our law enforcement team members were stationed at Kowloon Square, but the results of law enforcement were not satisfactory. ”
The staff member further explained: "These dancing and singing activities do not have a fee-based operation, they are self-organized non-profit activities, and there is no ban. In addition, we have also carried out special rectification with a number of departments, carried out legal propaganda for its relevant personnel, and also publicized and guided the person in charge of dam dance and open-air KTV for many times, and the relevant personnel also expressed their willingness to cooperate, control the volume, and end the activity in strict accordance with the time. However, the problem of excessive audio emission noise has never been solved and has become a stubborn disease. ”
Mr. Sun, director of the Guangsha Classic Community Industry Committee, told reporters: "We first looked for the square city management, and the city management said that it could not be managed, so we reported to 12345 and Sunshine Chongqing, and the Jiulongpo District Urban Management Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Detachment and the community also hit me, and they all said that they were more difficult." Later, according to the old version of the "Chongqing Environmental Noise Pollution Prevention and Control Measures" (repealed on February 1, 2024), we called 110 many times, but there was no way to completely solve it. ”
On February 4, upstream news reporters questioned the police of Yangjiaping Police Station, who had participated in the noise complaint law enforcement in Kowloon Square, as a resident. He said that the police response effect was also not satisfactory. "At first, it had a bit of an effect, and when the people dancing in the square saw the police coming, they still restrained themselves and their attitudes were more cooperative. But when the police left, the voices turned up again, and we soon received another call from the residents. The above-mentioned police said that the police on duty had to go to the scene again and again, and they went too much, and the dancing crowd became impatient. Later, he didn't communicate with the police at all, and when he saw the police coming, he took the initiative to lower the volume to deal with it, so that the police could leave quickly. The above-mentioned police officer said that the police officers who received the police felt that this work was not easy to do: "When they arrived at the scene, they did turn down the volume, and the police had nothing to say." What's more, the dancing crowd is mainly middle-aged and elderly, and we should not be too heavy in our words, so the deterrent effect on them is also limited. ”
The owners appealed: the implementation of the new measures, and the use of brains by multiple departments to eliminate stubborn diseases.
On the one hand, the phenomenon of excessive noise emissions by the dancing and singing teams at Kowloon Square has not improved. On the other hand, the owners of Guangsha Classic Community resolutely said no to noise disturbance. On February 3 this year, Mr. Sun, director of the Guangsha Classic Community Business Committee, told reporters: "On December 5, 2023, more than a dozen owners in our community jointly submitted an "Application for Performing Statutory Duties" to Jiulongpo District**, and according to the regulations, the relevant departments will reply within 60 days. ”

In Director Sun's view, the new version of the "Chongqing Noise Pollution Prevention and Control Measures", which will be officially implemented on February 1, 2024, is just an opportunity to solve the problem. According to the official website of Chongqing Municipal People's ** on February 2, "the newly revised "Chongqing Noise Pollution Prevention and Control Measures" clarifies the responsibilities of relevant departments for noise pollution prevention and control, and clarifies that the noise of social life such as loudspeaker broadcasting, entertainment in public places, fitness, and indoor decoration will be investigated and dealt with by the public security organs. ”
A police officer said: "Due to the large number of people participating in activities such as dancing and singing in Kowloon Square, the quality of the personnel is uneven, and some of the participants in the activities are not conscious, so they always need to be supervised from time to time." However, the police do not have professional equipment and skills for volume detection, and cannot accurately control the volume of audio emission noise, resulting in never reaching the level of satisfaction of the surrounding residents. How to solve this stubborn disease really requires multiple departments to use their brains together. ”
The relevant staff of the Jiulongpo District Urban Management Detachment of the jurisdiction of Kowloon Square told reporters: "After the implementation of the new measures, we will also combine the existing management regulations of the square to remind those organizers and participants at any time to pay attention not to disturb the people with noise and create a peaceful and comfortable living environment for the surrounding residents." ”
On February 5, Director Sun of the Guangsha Classic Community Industry Committee told upstream news reporters: "I hope that after the implementation of the new measures, multiple departments will work together to remove the stubborn diseases that have plagued the residents of our community for more than 10 years, and standardize the sound noise emissions of the dam dance and open-air singing in Kowloon Square." Only when everyone abides by the new measures and the "Noise Environmental Quality Standards" can they live in harmony and have a normal living environment for the owners. ”
