[turtlemuscle]

huh? what do you mean? apply license to use a certain music instruments at home?

 

[Syedo]

yea, i heard about the licence.. thanks for the site james, will look for more info..

Quite sometime ago someone told me about the licence, apparently you can play from like 10 am to 10 pm. undisturbed.. and if the cops come you show them the licence they cant do anything also as long as you play within that alloted period of time

 

[DrumDead]

I don't think the rule is that literal. But, tell us what u find out, ok?

: )X

 

[The-Warlord]

As far as I know and have been told , I can make noise until 11pm. However, if somone complains about the noise they have to come- just to say them came.

[edited by SOFT: please dont use vulgarity]

 

[AEnimic]

heard about the license too..post up what u found dude!! thx! i cnt stand my neighbour downstairs complaining about my guitar sounds

from the HDB website:

When you are carrying out any activity that produces sound or noise, such as listening to the radio, watching TV, playing a musical instrument, carrying out noisy DIY jobs, please avoid doing them late at night or in the early hours of the morning.

quite vague ah.

 

[getz]

so need license or not?? don't tell me watch tv loudly now also must have license

 

[subversion]

from the legal perspective:

1. You need license for broadcast recipient devices eg: TV/ Radio in the house. other than these devices- NO.

2. The 11pm noise limit is not exclusive to HDB, it's actually a penal guideline. you make noise in your house, it's private nuisance, if neighbours complain & call the police, the police can only ask you to stop UNLESS there are other aggravating circumstances which turns it into public nuisance, which is under the immediate purview of the police.

3. Whatever noise-related incidences after 11pm, even if it's within the vicinity of your house, it's public nuisance. note how noisy, DJ-induced, wedding dinner at void decks cease by 11pm...

Haha...my neighbours below can't complain me about my electric axe 'coz they play the piano themselves!

 

[nitrovo]

I dont live in a HDB but our neighbours like our drums and dont mind it being too loud. noones complained about my guitar.

but once the guard came up coz we played on a public holiday and people were resting so we were allowed to play and he said if we wanted to play drums we need to make a special sound proof room :S

social-soundproof your room : order a value meal upsize/happy meal from macdonalds. pay for it and get them to deliver to your neighbours.

10¢ worth.

"noise? what noise? dun hab lehzzz.."

-10¢ worth.
