New sound regulations in the San Antonio region the island Ibiza in Spain are becoming difficult for club owners to comply with. Limits set just 65 dB mean that most clubs are unable to operate as they have been for years and years, and it’s coming at a price.

For comparison, a passenger car at 65 mph at 25 ft registers at 77 dB; freeway at 50 ft from pavement edge 10 a.m. measures 76 dB; living room music is generally played at 76 dB; radio or TV-audio, vacuum cleaner registers as 70 dB.

According to , 9 nightlife locations will be forced to close for a period up to two weeks during the summer season, the island’s busiest. They’ll also be forced to close at 3am, as opposed to 5am, and currently face fines  £8,036 between them (though due to 44 pending complaints, that could increase closer to £30,000).

The region has been cracking down on “noisy tourism” since around October last year. Various regulations were at the time, and now the Ibiza council is following through.

Mayor Josep Tur wants to improve on image, saying the council is seeking other ways to keep the local economy afloat, instead “noisy tourism.” But local business owners are seeking to appeal the new regulations.

Note: San Antonio is on the opposite side the island megaclubs like Ushuaïa, Hï, Space, Pacha, Amnesia, and others, which are not currently being affected by these regulations.
