"Turn the noise down!" - that was the view of Largs Community Council in relation to 'loud music' during the psychedelic weekend at Kelburn Estate.
The matter was raised by Walkerston Avenue resident Margaret Brown during the council's monthly meeting at Largs Library.
Margaret asked police how long the licence went on for in terms of bands playing into the night, and Inspector Brian Skimming responded that the licence runs on till 5am.
In response, Margaret said: "I could make out every single word from my house - that is how loud it was. I think you have to speak to Lord Glasgow about the time factor - even make it 1am."
Inspector Sweeney pointed out that the live music events at Kelburn always have the later licence, and pointed out that a number of festivals and events take place at Kelburn throughout the year, including the forthcoming Garden Party.
Largs Community Council chairman Douglas Blair said: "These music events are good for Lord Glasgow to make some money, and that is fine because it is a business, but by the same token, if it was a pub or a club that was making noise late at night, they would be chapped on the door and asked if the noise could be turned down a bit."
Inspector Sweeney pointed out that noise measurements have been carried out at music events at Kelburn in the past, and the sound levels were found to be acceptable.
Mr Blair added: "It seemed to be exceptionally loud during the particular evening of Saturday June 13 into the 14th."
Inspector Sweeney said that there had always been tolerance shown towards the music events having a later licence, although he said he would pass on the concerns. A number of comments about the loud noise also appeared on the Largs People facebook page.
General Manager of Kelburn, Jared Bowers said: "The three music events held at Kelburn every year are done by an external company, Kelburn Arts, which is separate from Kelburn Estate. From the estate's perspective, they are quite conscious of noise levels and do follow protocol to minimise any disturbance to local communities. For example, known sensitive locations are visited by a member of the sound engineering team a few times each event night and “tested” where we check that the event can’t be heard.
"The council also have people out monitoring during nearly all of our events. Neighbours in known sensitive areas are given letters detailing when the events are happening, our noise phone number and that of the council.
"The Kelburn Arts team have worked really well with Kelburn Estate and its neighbours to ensure these events run smoothly and cause as little disruption as possible. I personally feel that reducing the license would inevitably have a significantly adverse effect on these events as the majority of visitors are coming from outside of Ayrshire and it doesn't seem likely to me that they would travel that far for an event that ends at 1am."
