In response to the growing concerns of noise disruption, the City of Colorado Springs has made public an independent sound study assessing the aural amplitude emanating from the Ford Amphitheater during its recent concerts. The study, carried out by Hankard Environmental, Inc., took place across a trio of October events, following noise complaints from the surrounding neighborhood since the venue's doors opened on August 9.

"The purpose of this study was to get a better understanding of the sound levels that neighbors are experiencing during concerts and to ensure the City has an independent and professional analysis of the impact," said Travis Easton, deputy chief of staff of infrastructure and development, as per the City of Colorado Springs. While the venue operates within the bounds of its development plan, the report acknowledges the acoustic inconvenience endured by some residents. The City explicitly expressed its commitment to cooperate with the neighborhood and the amphitheater in ameliorating the situation.

Not to be outdone, VENU, the proprietor of the Ford Amphitheater, conducted its acoustic analyses throughout the concert season, preparatory to releasing a comprehensive report due as part of the development plan ratified by the City Council in 2023. Preliminary data have been already shared with the City Administration, City Council members, and local citizens. This move reflects VEUN's ongoing dialogue and collaborative efforts with the city to address the noise concerns.

As part of the concerted approach, VENU is not only devising but actively deploying sound mitigation strategies, often in consultation with City representatives. The last of these strategy-sharing sessions took place on October 25. In the ensuing weeks, the City is anticipating further details and an actionable timeline from VENU for their sound mitigation undertakings, well in advance of the amphitheater's 2025 concert season, which is projected to kick off in May.
