One Way to Prevent Outdoor Noise Pollution at Our Luxury Apartments in Gainesville, FL

Bellamay Grand residents don’t even need to leave their homes to enjoy the wonderful Florida climate, since each of our units has its own patio. Your patio may be a great place to get a bit of fresh air and enjoy a beautiful day or night, but it’s important to remember to keep a reasonable noise level. After all, you have people living on all sides of you, and making sure your time on the patio doesn’t disturb them is one of the most important parts of being a good neighbor.

Here are a few other interesting facts about sound, which may help our residents understand how loud is too loud:

• Sound carries farther in warm air, and Florida is an exceptionally warm environment
• It only takes around 4 decibels (dB) difference for people to perceive a change in loudness
• A normal conversation is around 65 dB from 5 feet away, and even at 1,000 feet it can be over 15 dB
• With any wind, sound will curve upwards so people above you are often the most affected

With these facts in mind, it’s easy to see why having a loud phone conversation or practicing an acoustic guitar, each of which is around 80 dB, on your patio can potentially disturb your fellow residents in our luxury apartments in Gainesville, FL. So be sure to use the patio at your Bellamay Grand apartment responsibly and our community will continue to be an enjoyable place to live.
