Is Jacky Cheung being reported by his neighbors for disturbing the peace while singing? Did the "God of Song" break the law?

Online press conference in Hong Kong, China, on December 21.

Jacky Cheung reveals that his Indian neighbor complained about him practicing singing at home.

I practice singing for 1-2 hours every day, and I sang songs that I wouldn't normally dare to sing.

The complaint made Jacky Cheung doubt his own singing ability.

I only found out by asking the administrator.

The neighbor is Indian

"This proves I'm not famous enough yet; I need to keep working hard."

Jacky Cheung can also be subject to complaints.

Is it really a collective surge of funny news stories at the end of the year?

On a side note, here's a quick advertisement:

From now on, all the people living next door to you

Jay Chou, Zhang Jie, G.E.M., Mao Buyi...

If you need noise evidence

Find me, find me, find me

Professional, easy to use, and confidential

We'll record your evidence for free.

I guarantee I won't charge you a single penny.

What should I do if I'm bothered by the noise of my neighbor singing?

Just kidding, everyone is equal before the law.

No matter how beautiful your voice is, or how noble your status is

When noise disturbs others' rest, one must bear corresponding responsibility.

Cases similar to those involving Jacky Cheung

What relevant regulations did he violate?

1. Noise has nothing to do with whether the sound is pleasant or not.

First, we need to understand

This case also proves once again...

The nature of noise is not:

Is the sound ordered or disordered?

Is it beautiful or unpleasant to listen to?

The main consideration is whether it exceeds the standard and causes inconvenience to others.

Clearly, that Indian guy next to the singing god doesn't know what's good for him.

Ah, no, the Indians want to protect their legitimate rights.

Not satisfied with just 1-2 hours of free listening in the front row every day?

Ah, no, it's just that I'm bothered by noise for 1-2 hours every day.

If the Indian person needs to seek legal recourse...

Which laws should he consult?

2. Articles 288 and 294 of the Civil Code

Article 288　Adjacent property owners shall properly handle their neighborly relations in accordance with the principles of benefiting production, facilitating life, mutual assistance, fairness and reasonableness.

Article 294.　Real estate owners shall not dispose of solid waste or discharge harmful substances such as air pollutants, water pollutants, soil pollutants, noise, light radiation, and electromagnetic radiation in violation of national regulations.

3. Article 65 of the new version of the Noise Pollution Prevention and Control Law

Article 65 Families and their members should cultivate good habits of reducing noise generation, and try to avoid generating noise that disturbs the surrounding people when taking public transportation, raising pets and other daily activities. They should resolve noise disputes with mutual understanding and compromise, and jointly maintain the quality of the sound environment.

When using household appliances, musical instruments, or engaging in other activities in the home, the volume should be controlled or other effective measures should be taken to prevent noise pollution.

Article 87 Anyone who violates the provisions of this Law by generating noise in public life, which continues to disturb others' normal life, work, and study despite attempts to dissuade, mediate, and handle the matter, or who engages in other acts that disrupt public order or hinder social management, shall be subject to administrative penalties by the public security organs in accordance with the law.

4. Environmental Noise Quality Standard

Whether the singing of the "God of Songs" truly violates the two laws mentioned above requires a standard of judgment, because we cannot completely ignore the fact that Indians have very good hearing. If he finds it too noisy, but the noise level is not excessive, he can only take soundproofing measures himself. Therefore, we need to use a standard for measurement, and that standard is the "Environmental Noise Quality Standard".

Daytime: 6:00~22:00; Nighttime: 22:00~6:00

We don't know what time the singer performed, but if his voice exceeded 50/60 decibels (this sound level can be measured with the windows open in the victim's home), then he was already causing noise pollution. If the Indian friend encountered an uncommunicative, self-centered noise maker, after his first complaint was ineffective, his next course of action would be to collect evidence of the excessive noise, organize it, call the police, and even file a lawsuit in court to obtain relevant compensation and pursue his claims. The noise maker would also receive corresponding reprimands, warnings, fines, or even administrative detention.

However, such opportunities are extremely rare. Professional musicians usually have their own indoor recording studios, which are equipped with appropriate soundproofing and acoustic treatments.

If you also enjoy singing and would like to improve the soundproofing of your room, please contact the staff below for consultation.
