i agree with another poster: the way to reduce the overall sound level
is to have small loudspekers (with poor bass response) and to put them
as close as possible to the audience so they don't need to be loud.

Is this in the UK? If this is a commercial bar then surely the terms
of his licence must take account of the houses nearby. If the sound is
audible in the houses and his licence says it must not be then that's a
matter for the council environmental health dept.

This is something that jukebox manufacturers figured out in the 1950s,
and it works well. But it is considered very retro today. Then again,
maybe that's in.

Don't be silly! It's an outdoor bar on the shore. He'd only open 5
days a year on average.

In that case, just pay the neighbors to take a vacation during those
five days. No problem.

The pub near me ignored complaints from neighbours about late-night noise
from their weekly discos. They then ignored the notices from the council.

They were then taken to court, charged with causing a noise nusiance on
eight separate occasions, and were fined £1000 for each occasion.

They don't have discos any more ...

The bar is in on island of North Greece.
