Will recent regulation amendment about “ban on making noise” affect ban on music?

With the amendment of the regulation published in the Official Gazette, an arrangement was made regarding the environmental “noise” criteria of entertainment venues. It is noted that under the new regulation which targets music and entertainment, many bans have been introduced. The Environmental Noise Assessment and Management Regulation prepared by the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change, has been amended. Many bans have been put into effect under the new regulation, which was published in the Official Gazette on Friday and entered into force.

A table about which businesses would be subject to the bans were shared in a table by a lawayer. The lawyer said “GEÇMİŞ OLSUN” (which is used to convey good wishes after an accident etc. meaning get well soon, for instance). Almost all recreational activities are banned after 12 am in Turkey with the amendment of the regulation published in the Official Gazette on Friday. I have prepared a table on prohibitions. You can see the scope of the bans in detail here” he said.

Accordingly, all facades and ceilings of entertainment centers in areas defined as “very sensitive areas” such as housing, hospitals, nursing homes will be closed. Live music broadcasting will be prohibited after 24.00 in said entertainment centers in “sensitive area” areas such as hotels, religious facilities and schools.
