In a tweet, the association has explained that during one of the concerts of the British band they have measured with the sound level meter up to 56.8 decibels in a home located one kilometer away from the olympic stadium.

“The authorities allow up to 53 dB, a nonsense anyway, can you imagine what the closest neighbors listen to?” PACAME asks, remembering that with today’s concerts there will be four nights of Coldplay concerts.

“Coldplay concert again, throwing firecrackers as part of the show. Are they not aware that people sleep to get up early and go to work?“adds PACAME in reference to the fireworks that close each concert, with two final fireworks, which questions “why does the city council allow it? Anything goes?”.
