FAQ - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. What is noise?
"Noise is unwanted and/or harmful sound, first recognized as a public health hazard in 1968. Chronic noise, even at low levels, can cause annoyance, sleep disruption and stress that contribute to cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, metabolic disturbances, exacerbation of psychological disorders and premature mortality. Noise interferes with cognition, and learning, contributes to behavior problems, and reduces achievement and productivity". (Source: American Public Health Association, apha.org)

2. What is the LIVE Noise Map?
The LIVE Noise Map is a map showing noise nuisance reports for a single day and corresponds to one event at the Ford amphitheater in Colorado Springs, CO. Noise reports for the LIVE Noise Map can be submitted here only on the same day as the noise event. In other words, you cannot submit a LIVE noise report on the next day or a week latter. You can update or delete your LIVE noise report until midnight on the day it was initially posted.
The idea of LIVE noise reports is to capture and save your noise nuisance report while noise is being heard and can more accurately be described or measured. These LIVE reports are saved with a date so you can view LIVE Noise maps for specific dates anytime you want.

3. Why should I submit a LIVE noise report?
Those who submit LIVE noise reports are sharing their noise nuisance level with neighbors and others in real time and everyone has an immediate idea of noise levels in different areas while it is happening. Although noise is a serious issue, sharing experiences on a map with neighbors can be fun and a way of registering and protesting the loud noise annoyance in north Colorado Springs. Unlike random noise reports on social media, a noise map provides a tangible view of what is really happening on the ground in homes and what areas are affected by the noise on a particular day. It is also a record of noise nuisance that can be used to protest the noise issue from the amphiteater and gives a voice to those affected.

If you change the Lat/Long coordinates when resubmitting a Noise Report it will be saved as a separate noise report. The ability to update a report is useful for example if the noise level and annoyance changes or gets worse after your initial report.
