The Ibiza nightclub's music is so loud that I can hear it from a block away (and with a large building in the way to block the noise). This has gone on for multiple weekend nights into the early morning. My walls are shaking!

We can hear it almost 2 blocks away on the 6th floor of our building. I've reported the noise violation to the police on several occasions already. I recommend others continue to also call 311 and email our city council-member: kmcduffie@DCCOUNCIL.US and the NOMA business improvement district: rmroczek@nomabid.org . As the 'guest' stated how would anyone know its an issue if we're not from the area, it's not poor decision making its an illegal noise violation that needs to be remedied by local authorities.

that they have issued citations to the club with this evidence. I recommend others do the same and send videos and complaints to the contacts in my last post. I moved here from a neighborhood with 10 bars in a two block radius without this much noise. I know of multiple other area residents all submitting complaints. Ill continue to do so until the noise level is brought within compliance.

I appreciate your "get a life" comments. But I stand by my opinion. I get these notifications because I work in the neighborhood. I respectfully suggest that in the future you be more mindful of where you decide to live... Or take your hand held db meter out into the neighborhood before you move in.

Handheld decibel meter vs. who was there first. I don't know the letter of the law but I would like to think there are legal issues if a business is exceeding the legal db rate. If patrons too are making too much noise exceeding FB levels when they leave at the end of the night that too should be a problem. If people are getting in fights with weapons, that's a problem.
There will likely be a reduction in business at the clubs if there isnt an attempt to solve the problems. Wouldn't it be better to agressively encourage patrons to be quiet? Arrange discounts with local hotels? Install strong soundproofing in the clubs? Just as the clubs were here first, it is also reasonable to expect lower decibel levels.

That's a "nice" sentiment and all but not consistent with the DC regs best as I can tell:
2700.1It is the declared public policy of the District that every person is entitled to ambient noise levels that are not detrimental to life to life, health, and enjoyment of his or her property. It is hereby declared that excessive or unnecessary noises within the District are a menace to the welfare and prosperity of the residents and businesses of the District. It is the declared public policy of the District to reduce the ambient noise level in the District to promote public health, safety, welfare, and the peace and quiet of the inhabitants of the District, and to facilitate the enjoyment of the natural attraction of the District.
Later on in the same regs it gives the police the ability to enforce the law and assess fines. It appears that any grandfathering for most loud pre-existing sources ended in the late 1970s. If it's the law then that's the deal.
