Within the scope of the Regulation on the Assessment and Management of Environmental Noise published by the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization, all businesses with live music activities such as Wedding Halls, Cafes, Bars and Casinos must have “Environmental Noise Measurement”.

Within the scope of the relevant regulation, live music is defined as a type of music made with real instruments and/or sounds or using a tape or electronically amplified sound source. The Regulation specifies the rules that businesses such as Wedding Halls, Cafes, Bars and Casinos should apply and the limit values that should not be exceeded.

The principles regarding the prevention of environmental noise from places of entertainment broadcasting music are specified in the relevant regulation.
