Instead, it was coming from Fair Park, more than four miles away.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The area hosted both the Breakaway Music Festival and a concert at Dos Equis Pavilion on Friday night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI guess they had a noise complaint last night,\u201d one driver near the venue said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Residents say the music carried from about 9 p.m. to 11 p.m., loud enough to spark dozens of posts on social media and neighborhood apps.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cEverybody in the neighborhood was fired up about it last night,\u201d said resident Brian Straley.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Others described the sound as high-energy, driven by DJ music and heavy bass.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In a statement, Dallas City Councilmember Adam Bazaldua said he is working with the city\u2019s Park and Recreation Department to address the issue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">That includes monitoring sound levels and improving how noise is managed during large events.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Bazaldua said several factors may explain why residents&#8217; miles away could hear the music including the positioning of the stage, which faces open land, and weather conditions that can carry sound farther than expected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cThat\u2019s insane. I didn\u2019t know it could travel that far,\u201d said Helen Liu, another resident.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">WFAA reached out to the festival\u2019s marketing team but has not yet received a response.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While the music has since stopped, residents say the experience has raised new concerns about noise levels tied to large events in the city.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">For many, the question now is not just how loud it was, but how far is too far when the sound keeps traveling home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Residents in the Lakewood and East Dallas neighborhoods say they were surprised to hear\u00a0loud music\u00a0late into the night,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":246191,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[102,104,103,5474,5253,93694,93695],"class_list":{"0":"post-246190","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas","8":"tag-dallas","9":"tag-dallas-headlines","10":"tag-dallas-news","11":"tag-east-dallas","12":"tag-fair-park","13":"tag-loud-music","14":"tag-park-and-recreation-department"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246190","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=246190"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246190\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/246191"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=246190"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=246190"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=246190"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
