Compensation for loud rock music
The English rock group, Oasis, sometimes play extremely loud
music at live concerts. Recently, the organisers of a concert
in Germany paid compensation to some of the concert-goers,
reports the Swedish magazine Auris. After the concert, three
members of the audience suffered such earaches that they had
to go to hospital. They later took out a summons against the
organisers of the concert, who agreed to pay compensation
to the three sound-struck rock fans. As a side note, one of
Oasis' more memorable songs is called Supersonic. The rock
group AC/DC also played a dangerous game with the hearing
ability of their audience at a concert held in Norway in the
summer of 2001. Measuring equipment at the concert was put
to the test. Noise levels as high as 121 dB were recorded.
