Real-Time Noise Monitoring at EFKA 2.0 Festival Using SVANTEK and SvanLINK

Introduction

Supporting Inclusive Events Through Smart Sound Monitoring solution - SvanLINK

This case study showcases how the EFKA 2.0 Festival in Poland integrated SVANTEK’s Class 1 instrumentation with the SvanLINK application to ensure both regulatory compliance and comfort for audiences. EFKA 2.0 is a social and cultural festival organized by the “Fundacja Oczami Brata” to promote awareness about the needs of people with disabilities. With two concert stages and educational panels, maintaining appropriate sound levels was vital — both to enhance audience experience and to meet environmental noise guidelines.

Measurement Operator

SVANTEK Consultants

The sound measurements were managed by SVANTEK specialists and EFKA 2.0 organizers. Their collaborative approach ensured reliable data collection, live sound level visibility, and post-event analysis, enabling a proactive response to noise challenges during the concerts.

Challenge

Balancing Audience Comfort and Neighborhood Noise Limits

The organizers had to simultaneously address:
• Real-time monitoring for crowd comfort and safety,
• Transparent reporting to local stakeholders,
• Compliance with Polish environmental noise regulations,
• Acoustic consistency across stages in a socially inclusive setting.
