Descrizione
Excessive bass noise going until 3 AM on Tuesday nights at Ratio at Hadley and Main. Tuesday and Thursday are the worst. We called 311 twice last night. No one does anything. I post here and you keep saying to call 311. They don't do anything. We are begging you for help. We have lived here 3 years and this club only became an issue last month. No one should have to put up with heavy bass and people blasting music out of their trunks and screaming into a megaphone at 3 in the morning. HELP.

Hi - if I may offer some advice, I've gone through similar issues with Social Beer Garden for many years. I really understand the distress this can cause.
By playing music at an excessive level at night, the club is breaking the noise ordinance, so you need to call (713)884-3131 - the police non-emergency line. 311 will not be able to help you with this problem.
When you call the police non-emergency line, press 1 to go on hold. When the operator answers you'll need to provide the following: what you are reporting (a noise complaint), the address of Ratio, the cross street, the number of people at the scene (an estimate is fine), your name and phone number, and if you wish to speak to the officer when they arrive. This is up to you, but I recommend speaking to the officer the first few times, so that you can impress upon them how severe the problem is.
It may take awhile for the police to arrive. This can be frustrating, and it may take several tries before they arrive while the noise is still happening, but eventually they will be able to help you, and the police in Midtown have become increasingly aware of the seriousness of this problem. By calling them consistently you will also build a record of complaints against the club.

The primary challenge in dealing with excessive noise from bars/clubs in Midtown is that what they are doing is legal. This is usually why you see police talking to the bouncers--they're asking the bars to turn the music down since they can't require them to turn the music down.
The allowable decibel level in Houston is very high. Please call on the mayor and city council to:
• Reduce the allowable noise level for bars/clubs within 300 feet of a residence. Currently, permitted bars/clubs may make 75 decibels of noise as measured within a residential property from 8am to 10pm/11pm. That is the same amount of noise produced by a vacuum cleaner.
• Institute a general prohibition for nighttime noise (after 10pm/11pm) that is “plainly audible to a person of normal hearing when measured inside a receiving dwelling unit.”
The only way to fix this is to change the city ordinance.
