The Data Service chosen to monitor noise during the most anticipated music event of the year!

The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival is a music festival held annually since 1999 in Indio, California during two weeks of April.
In the Colorado desert, about 127 miles from Los Angeles, the show takes place on the iconic fields of the Empire Polo Club and lasts an entire weekend. The festival features performances on 5 different stages with numerous sound systems.

With over 250,000 visitors from all over the world and the festivities that continue for 3 days until late at night, the city of Indio must guarantee entertainment for music lovers and tranquility for the local population; for this reason, for the past 10 years, it has made compliance with specific noise standards a condition for the realization of the festival.

For concerts and music festivals, the solution we offer is DATA SERVICE, an environmental monitoring service supplied complete with monitoring tools and cloud-based software, ideal for keeping noise levels under control in various contexts, especially temporary ones: DS is in fact can be delivered as a SAAS for short or long term tracking campaigns. For Coachella in particular we have installed 6 monitoring terminals around the festival area, which covers more than 600 acres of land; each of the terminals is equipped with class 1 PCB-Larson Davis sound level meters, the best choice to meet the performance criteria required by the situation. The noise data was collected and analyzed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for the entire month of April and the information collected was displayed in real time on online cartography by the technicians in charge, who were able to intervene immediately where necessary alerted by automatic system alerts; the reports (standard and customized) that the DS system automatically generates ensured compliance with the permitted noise standards and were used when necessary by the festival organizers.

Noise monitoring must be conducted to ensure that conditions for obtaining a special event permit issued by the city of Indio are met; it is essential given the scope of the event, that the system is performing, reliable and designed to operate in such a context. Our solution has been recognized as reliable and suitable and we are happy to have taken part in the realization of the festival par excellence.
