i-CLUB Sun 02 Oct 2011 - Sat 08 Oct 2011


Album titled SCANDELICIOUS - S**K ME, I'M DELICIOUS 1-10-2011 

02 Oct Sun 03:06
CX: Absolutely ridiculous tonight. Now it’s past 3am. Turn off the awful lights that r shooting through our windows, turn the music off!!!! Shut it down
CX: OM. Not OK! You guys r truly taking the piss. Why? Why the lack of consideration? I don’t understand. I thought u wanted ur neighbors to b happy?

02 Oct Sun 03:19
CX: Unfortunately ur actions are speaking much much louder than ur words.
CX: So what we’re making this up? That we want to b up @ 330am smsing u? It shld suffice to say that we can hear it. What difference does the soundman make? & why the hell is the music still on 2nite. This is amounting to downright psychological abuse.

02 Oct Sun 23:27
Me: To aid in yr monitoring, this is 2 inform u low level bass has been noticeable for the past 15 – 20 mins

02 Oct Sun 23:28
GM: Adjusting now
GM: Never like to receive ur sms in fact, trying my vry best
Me: TQ 4 finally responding GM. Importantly, nothing must be heard tonite, low level or not
Me: Or ANY nite

03 Oct Mon 00:37
Me: Noticeable again

04 Oct Tue 23:30
Me: GM & OM, u need 2 know bass has been audible for the past 15 or so mins. U will do something abt it immediately
Me: I can still hear it

05 Oct Wed 01:01
GM: I just dun know how to adjust for u, iclub might be the lousy sound system among clubs without bass effect but still it can statisfied u
Me: It’s something you will need to sort out. We’ve had weeks of disturbed evenings. Appreciate the effort keeping it down but there needs to be a final and effective solution

Dear [Senior Manager – Facility Management, Mah Sing Group]
Again I must state right from the start that the bass and sound levels from the i-CLUB have been significantly lower since your meeting with GM. It is unfortunate that it had to come to a meeting for the club to realise the seriousness of our complaints.
Even though it has been peaceful compared to the previous week, we have been experiencing bass intermittently each night since your meeting. Our SMS exchanges usually result in a short response from either OM or GM and a drop in bass levels, but the bass often returns 20 to 30 minutes later, prompting another round of text messages. I do not know how the club is ‘monitoring’ the levels, but I cannot see how they can tell we are being affected unless we tell them.
Last night/this morning, my SMS exchange with i-CLUB:
23:30 Me - GM & OM, u need 2 know bass has been audible for the last 15 or so mins. U will do something abt it immediately
Me - I can still hear it
23:46 GM - Still?
Me - Yes, still can detect it!
GM - Now?
GM - Will reduce more
Me - Guys it’s not perfect, but this is better
23:47 OM - Ok
OM - Going down more
OM – I’m trying bro
00:34 Me - The bass is back
00:36 OM - Ayoo I just went back but I’ll cal GM now
00:52 Me - Guys! Why is the bass back up?!?
01:01 GM - I just dun know how to adjust for u, iclub might be the lousy sound system among clubs without the bass effect but still it can statisfied u
Me – It’s something you will need to sort out. We’ve had weeks of disturbed evenings. Appreciate the effort keeping it down but there needs to be a final and effective solution

Is GM suggesting that the club will suffer due to the lack of heavy bass, but at least my fellow residents and I are appeased?
This is a ridiculous situation.
Kind regards

Me: To aid with yr sound levels, this is 2 inform u bass can be heard the past 5 or so minutes

06 Oct Thu 23:15
OM: Ok
Me: Last nite was v good. U need maintain that until yr soundproofing is sorted out
OM: Ok bro coz every single song got different beat that is why I need to adjust every time
Me: Still audible guys
OM: Ok

06 Oct Thu 23:27
GM: Adjust again

06 Oct Thu 23:30
Me: Pretty good now guys. Please, I can’t be up just to text u. As I said, last night was v good.
GM: U hv a gud nite sleep
Me: GM, only if I can b assured there will be zero audible bass. Based on the past week or so, not a good track record. But let’s see how 2nite goes

06 Oct Thu 23:31
OM: Ok

[Senior Manager – Facility Management, Mah Sing Group],
I am writing again to reiterate the issues we are having with the i-Club. I have a feeling the management from the establishment is just hoping we will give up and I want it to be made clear that we will not. We have no choice. As stated by Rabbitgut in his prior email though the levels are significantly improved to what they were in August, they have not yet returned to the acceptable levels we experienced during the first part of September. I could understand if I had moved into their neighborhood - I would have to put up with the choice I made to live near a club. But the fact is they chose to move into ours, and apparently did so without exercising due diligence on the effects of sound to the surrounding area. I feel it is now their responsibility to adjust their sound to acceptable levels. The management of the club stated that each song has a different bass level but I know there is sound leveling equipment available in the industry - even my iPod nano has an option to level sound! GM also sent a rather cryptic message that, if I interpreted it correctly, eluded to the fact that they will have the lamest club in town if they are not able to pump the bass. As residents affected by their bass this is obviously a very concerning statement for them to make. Why was it possible to reduce the sound levels to an acceptable volume for nearly a month and now it’s impossible?
I am a mother of two children, one who is only 6 weeks old and whose room faces the i-Club. I do not have the luxury of sending numerous sms’s to the i-Club when I should be spending my time resting and I shouldn’t have to be concerned about my baby’s sleep being interrupted by club music! You do realize that sounds preposterous? Baby and club music should never have to be written in the same sentence. I should also not have to spend my precious time during the day or night sending emails such as these.
Yet, if the problem persists so will I.

Me: It’s not better

Me: Not enough
OM: Again going down
Me: 23:43 right now, not bad, just so u know

08 Oct Sat 22:09
CX: Already much too loud. The vibration of the bass is drowning out the calming sounds machine I purchased to try to combat ur noise :( plz turn it down now!
