An order of immediate cessation of activity, a monetary fine and a warning of closure hanging over the music conservatory Manuel Castillo at Baños street . The Delegation of Urban and Environment of the City of Sevilla , who heads the council Maximiliano Vilchez has opened disciplinary proceedings against the educational institution as a result of a complaint from a neighbor by "noise " emitted by musical instruments used by students in classes . The Socialist Group believes that local government should pay more attention to disciplinary city streets with bars and noisy pedestal than a music conservatory , pointing to the city of Seville have sought political advantage to be a center of ownership autonomic .

The open record indicates that the measurements with sound level meter from the outside of the building have indeed recorded sounds above the allowed decibels , so it has issued an "unfavorable " report which stresses that the conservatory incurs a administrative infringement considered "very serious" according to the law: " the noisy measurements source object -musical instruments - is located in the building of the conservatory , outside the home affected by noise and separated by a distance of 4.25 meters. " And states: " Taken as measuring point the balcony of the house affected by noise , at microphone sound level meter at a distance of 1.5 meters from the front of the house , in order to minimize the effects of sound on the measure. for temporary evaluation periods , day and evening, we calculated the time of operation of the noise source on the opening of the conservatory , I scored in finding sheet measures. "

The record imposes a financial penalty of 1,500 euros, orders the opening of the file naming an instructor and a secretary , such as is required , order the " immediate cessation of the emitting source " and corrective measures so that the sound does not exceed decibels set by law. Note that the facility be closed if no orders given within specified time voluntarily comply .

Kim, I'm really glad and thankful that you didn't say "dangerous observation"!

Just for the records, to not render your remark useless in case I ever would change the current signature...

To be stupid is like to be dead. Oneself will not be aware of it.
It's only the others who suffer.

The solution is so obvious......just remove the strings from all the instruments.
