Noisiest Bar None

A bar in Ibiza town has been ordered to pay €3000 to each of three neighbours

A bar in Ibiza town has been ordered to pay €3000 to each of three neighbours who have suffered not only noise from the bar's music, but also the vibrations caused by the sound travelling through the walls.

The neighbours of the Warhol bar had complained many times that they couldn't sleep - the bar is open until 4AM - and finally got the police to intervene with special noise measuring equipment.

The judge in the case found that the bar had made noise and vibrations above permitted levels on a regular basis, and also fined them heavily despite the bar owner's defence that 'in Ibiza it's usual for the bars to surpass the allowed level of decibels.'
