The complaints began early Friday afternoon on social media platforms including Reddit and X and continued until late Saturday night.
The loud music and vibrating bass could be heard and felt across the Westside of Los Angeles, from Culver City to Manhattan Beach.
“Is there anything anyone can do? Or are we all up to 11pm tonight and 10pm tomorrow?” asked a user on Reddit.
“Where is that coming from? It’s so annoying!!!” posted another.
The source of the ear-splitting disturbances was the Hard Summer music festival held in Hollywood Park, adjacent to SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. The festival features techno, house and dubstep music and was expected to attract around 70,000 daily attendees.
El Segundo police said they received several noise complaints Saturday.
“We are aware of the loud booming noise affecting the city,” the department posted on X. “It’s coming from a music festival near SoFi Stadium. … There’s no need to call 911 to report.”
The department had not received any complaints as of noon Sunday, said Sgt. Russel Patton, but the festival was scheduled to start again at 2 p.m
The Inglewood Police Department did not respond to a request for comment.
Founded in 2007, Hard Summer presented a lineup this year including Nelly Furtado, Disclosure and Rezzmau5. Festival organizers have not publicly acknowledged the noise complaints and did not respond to a request for comment.
“It’s the loudest party ever,” wrote one resident of X. “I’ve never heard anything like it.”
Even miles away from Hollywood Park, Angelenos said they could hear the music at high volumes and feel bass vibrations. One reported feeling vibrations in his home four miles away.
“I assumed someone in my apartment was having a party upstairs,” one Reddit user wrote.
Police agencies in the surrounding areas did not indicate they would take any action to stop the festival or control noise levels. The festival ends at 22:00 on Sunday.
