Abstract

This case study explores the coexistence between a residential development and an adjacent live music venue in Newcastle's Ouseburn Valley. Music noise from the Tyne Bar is accepted by nearby residents with very few complaints, despite the music noise levels exceeding traditional noise limit guidelines. Using mixed methods including noise measurements, modelling, interviews, and grounded theory, the study reveals several socio-cultural factors enabling this tolerance. Key findings indicate the residents' strong sense of community and cultural affiliation with the venue, and the Tyne Bar's active engagement with the community. Residents closer to the venue perceive the noise as an inevitable trade-off of the location. Strategies are proposed to integrate newcomers into the sonic environment and enable a sense of control over the music sound. This case study challenges strictly noise-centric guidelines, highlighting the need for holistic frameworks integrating objective limits with subjective experiences shaped by residents' sense of place, identity, and community relationships. These subjective experiences can be systematically understood through a soundscape approach, and actively managed along with the music sound level to achieve better outcomes for all stakeholders.
