ORLANDO, Fla. – The Electric Daisy Carnival, one of Central Florida’s largest annual events, drew hundreds of thousands of fans to Orlando this weekend.

However, not everyone was feeling the love as dozens of residents lodged complaints about the noise from the three-day music festival.

“It felt like it was next door — it just rattled the house,” said Dan Gerola, a College Park resident. “The booming music was constant and my kids were complaining.”

College Park, about five miles from the festival grounds at Tinker Field, was still feeling the effects of the event. Residents reported that the bass and music were so intense that they disrupted their sleep and daily routines. Some, like Gerola, are calling for changes, saying the noise was excessive and intrusive.

“You’re paying to live in a good area and then you’re dealing with this booming music like you’re right next to it, even though we’re miles away,” Gerola said.

An Altamonte Springs resident shared a similar sentiment in an email to FOX 35 News, writing, “The Electric Daisy Festival at Tinker Field is knocking on our windows. We had to put up with this loud, powerful bass rumble all weekend.”

Orlando city officials and police confirmed the festival ended with 37 noise complaints, 24 of which were reported on Sunday alone.

“It was just disturbing and frankly unreasonable,” Gerola added.

When asked about noise levels allowed for the event, Orlando officials responded by saying the festival complied with the city’s noise ordinance, which requires events to end by midnight.

Since it first came to Orlando in 2011, EDC has attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors, generating millions of dollars for the city’s economy. However, some residents, like Gerola, believe a balance must be struck between economic benefits and the amenity of local communities.

“I understand the city needs to generate revenue, but it needs to balance that with the needs of its citizens,” he said.

According to Orlando’s noise code, noise levels should not exceed 75 to 80 decibels on weekends between 7:00 a.m. and 1:59 a.m. The city has yet to specify the decibel levels allowed for EDC this year.
