Benet commissioned a comprehensive sound study to ensure the system was appropriately designed and to determine the anticipated sound levels at the property line.

Using the equipment specifications and locations as designed for the public address audio system, along with the layout of the proposed stadium, the sound study concluded that peak noise from a large event would be ~83dB at the property line. In comparison, smaller events would likely produce a maximum of ~65dB at the property line.

The sound study was peer-reviewed by the Village’s third-party consultant.

Benet has also proposed installing a limiter on its public address system to ensure the volume cannot exceed the limits established in the sound study and planning process, and is working with Village staff relative to follow up testing once the system is installed.

Benet agreed to install a sound monitoring system to confirm compliance with the commitments and representations made during the zoning and approval process.
