Sound during other activities

You are going to perform an activity that makes a lot of noise. For example, advertising through a loudspeaker or swiping after an event. You need an exemption for this. This is a permission to perform a certain activity.

What do you need to know

It may be that the activity you are going to perform makes a lot of noise. Then the following rules apply:

  • You adhere to the sound rules of the General local regulation of Hilversum. This means that you ensure that there is no noise nuisance for local residents or for the (living) environment
  • If you still expect noise nuisance, you can apply for an exemption
  • To limit nuisance, the municipality can add extra rules to the exemption

What do you have to do

  • You can apply for the noise nuisance exemption online. You need your DigiD or eHerkenning for this

After your request

  • You will hear within 10 working days whether you will receive the exemption
  • The exemption will be published in the newspaper
