But neighbors are worried that the ‘dubstep dad’ might not have the noise under control. With residential buildings nearby, major concerns have been raised among the authorities about whether the noise will be controlled. A hotline number has been issued to handle all noise complaints during the event. The production is trying its best to control the noise and not exceed the legal limit.

Organizers have let the people in the areas know that they have implemented noise control efforts, so there’s no need to worry. The dynamics involving the sound speakers have been adjusted in order to not blast the people living in close proximity to the music. They said they will have teams monitoring the area to check if the noise is within the allowed limit during the festival. Shaq’s biggest-ever show is just another milestone in his music career. He has put his all into music since his retirement from the league.
