ACOUSTICAL STUDY OF AMBIENT NOISE LEVELS
NEAR PLAZA 3 THEATER

Consulting Engineer: John D. Mays, P.E.
This report summarizes the results of an acoustical study conducted for KSK Entertainment
at the property formerly known as the Plaza 3 Theater on Southwest Parkway in College
Station, Texas.
Purpose of Study
The purpose of this study was to conduct sound pressure level (SPL) tests in and in the
vicinity of a proposed entertainment venue. One-third octave, A-weighted sound levels were
to be checked under simulated operating conditions, and levels compared to the 55 dBA
nighttime allowable level stipulated in Ordinance No. 1996.
Site Visit and! Tests
A tour of the proposed entertainment venue was conducted on march 8, 1993, for the
purpose of assessing the acoustical properties of the existing building and for measuring
SPLs i!l the building and in nearby residential areas. Figure 1 indicates the arrangement of
the site.
A rented sound system was set up in the theater area and "typical" music was played for the
purpose of taking SPL measurements. Three series of tests were conducted to gather data
under various conditions, as follows:
(1) Daytime SPLs, with sound system driven approximately 3-8 dB louder than
actual operating conditions. This test actually represents "unrealistic worst case
scenario. "
(2) Nighttime SPLs with sound system driven louder than proposed, as above.
(3) Nighttime SPLs, with sound system driven approximately as planned for the
permanent installation.
An Invonics model 500, 1/3-octave, real-time analyzer was used for all tests.
Table 1 shows A-weighted SPL data for measurements at 25 Hz through 315 Hz made during
the daytime test. Highest level measured at location A (Figure 1) was 50.0 dBA at 160 Hz.
At location B the highest measured level was 38 dBA at 160 Hz.
Table 2 shows A-weighted SPL data for measurements taken during the night test, which was
conducted at 8:00 p.m. the same evening. Highest level at location C (the property line) was
61 dBA at 63 Hz. At location D the highest measured level was 55 dBA at 63 Hz.
Table 3 shows A-weighted SPL data for measurements taken during the night test with sound
levels inside the theater reduced to simulate actual operating conditions. Indoor sound levels
were compared to readings taken at another local venue playing at actual volume level.
These levels are also shown in Table 3.
Outdoor measurements under these conditions are shown in the third column of Table 3.
Most frequency bands were unmeasurable (below ambient), with peaks in the 63 Hz band at
52 dBA.
Analysis
According to College Station City Ordinance No. 1996 (see Appendix), dated February 11,
1993, the criteria for establishing acceptable noise levels at the boundaries of residential
property is 55 dBA (nighttime, 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.). Measurements under conditions
approximating actual operating conditions resulted in maximum peak levels of 52 dBA.
Preliminary measurements with indoor levels of 5-16 dB higher than anticipated operating
level resulted in maximum peak levels of 58-61 dB on the north side of the theater. It should
be noted that there are several large holes in the north building wall which are covered with
plywood. It is anticipated that with the finishing construction, and with a sound system
permammtly installed, equalized, and operating at planned levels, that ambient noise levels at
adjacent properties will be well under the City requirement of 55 dBA.

CS files lawsuit against nightclub
'seeking to stop the noise' it creates
By Elizabeth Sharp
ofthe Eagle staff
Complaints from area residents re-
. garding "loud noise.' prompted the city of
College Station to file a lawsuit against a
local nightclub.
The city filed the suit Wednesday after-
noon against Mansard House. InG. and
Gary Seaback. doing business as The
Edge. .
The petition seeks a temporary re-
strnining order to stop the owners. agents
and employees oftht'? Club from using the
property at 2501 South Texas Avenue No.
D- 1 03 as a dance club.
The suit also seeks a temporary injunc-
tion preventing use. of the premises as a
dance dub until permanent measures
are taken to reduce the noise level eman-
ating from the club. Also, a
$1,OOO-per-day judgment is sought for
each day from Nov. 1 that the club's noise
level.n; cansidered a nuisance. .
Assistant City Attorney Marianne
Banks said it is nat the city's intention to
clase down the club.
''We're really seeking to stOlp the noise,
which may mean closing the club tem-
porarily," she said.
Banks noted in her petition that the
city began receiving camplaints in May
1987 about the naise level coming from
the club. During a 20-month period more
than 100 complaints concerning loud
music caming from the club were
received by College Station afficials.
She also notes in the petition that while
Texas A&M students are on semester
breaks, the city receives fewer calls con-
cerning noise emitting from the club.
The petitian claims. that in February
1988, Seaback received a citatian fram
the city for disorderly conduct by loud
naise because of the music caming from.
the club.
In July, Seaback hired an engineer to
conduct a study aimed at reducing noise
levels. The petitian alleges Seaback took
no action an the study which showed
that the .'music beat emanating from the
... club was laud enough to be disturbing
at an haur beyand 9 p.m."
The study also shawed the volume af
the naise inside the dub was in excess af
LOO decibels and, accarding to federal
standards, cauld be a threat to hearing.
Seaback's attarney, ROlland M. Searcy
Jr., declined ta camment an the case
ather than ta say "we will cantest it vigar-
ausly."
Seaback cauld not be reached far
camment.

approximately 20 feet from the nearby mobile homes, The E,dge nightclub was the culprit of
past problems betJause the propped open rear door allowed music to t10w to the mobile home

park since there was no dividing fence or construction to prevent it. One mobile home resident
testified that a patron actually urinate4:i in hcr front lawn. I believe any reasonable person would
have been upset by a combination of any or all of the aforementioned actions. Therefore, KSK

Since the engineers report will be submitted to the comm.ission and it is my understanding
that the engineer will personally testify tonight, it will not be necessary for me to elaborate on
the noise issue since it has been sdemiticfllly proven and documented that the proposed noise
level of the new nightclub will not be audible within the mobile home park, or violate the new
City Ordinance.
There exists an issue of trespassing by mobile home residents corning and going to the
shopping center, since the area adjoining the t1iobile home park currently is unfenced.

however, we offered to put a gate in the fence for their use to do so. This should answer any
concern about parking lot activities hypothesized by trailer residents at the previous meeting.
In addition. an off~duty police officer will patrol the area during the club's operation and closing
hours. His responsibility will include insuring orderly conduct during ingress and egress at the
club.
The last signit1cant issue by members of the commission and mobile home park addressed
the possibility of noise created by vehicles leaving the parking lot to go home. It is my belief
that the fence would prevent mo;,;z. of any potential noise and certainly any headlight
inconvenience which might be caused by departing vehicles. This means that there would be
(1) a couple of acres of vacant land and (2) a parking lot before the eight foot fence to serve as
a buffer zone to the mobile home park. If the back parking lot Is to be closed, I would suggest
only closing half of it so that a fence could be aesthetically constructed down the landscape
island in the middle of the parking lot Since the amount of parking available is so numerous,
the loss of spaces will not affe<,;t the occupancy requirenient

As
previously mentioned, the nightclub has a multiple of

more than the nightclub perceives it's intepded needs will require and therefore
it is I10l illogical to assume that the patrons will f}ot need,-to-park on any other entity's property.

defused. But in the event it was not, please le\[ me elaJ50rate that the club's lease provides that
tenant maintain the parrJng lot daily and that if the tenant can see that its patrons' trash was
blown .onto the neighbor(s) property they are require.d to pick it up, It is worthy of noting that
many of the mobile homes have trash and debris deposited upon our property; and other
cornrnercial properties, This includes a large gasoline storage tank; grocery Cfu"1S, dog houses,
