Amplified Sound Complaint Form

Amplified events are routinely scheduled through LEAD to take place in the Malcolm X Plaza Monday through Friday from 12 pm – 2 pm during the academic year, with the exception of the last week of classes and finals week for each semester. At outdoor events on campus, the amount of amplification is controlled through the use of a sound meter to ensure that sound not exceed 75 decibels 25 feet from the amplified sound source. All amplified sound events on Malcolm X Plaza must use the CCSC sound system and coordinate with the Center’s sound technicians. It is the responsibility of the sponsoring student organization/department and their performers in collaboration with LEAD staff and CCSC technicians to not exceed the 75-decibel level.

Any sound complaints concerning outdoor events should be directed to LEAD, who is charged with administering complaint procedures. LEAD shall keep records of all written and verbal amplified sound complaints, providing annual reports to the Vice President for Student Affairs. This form was developed to assist in the follow-up to any such complaints.
