The vibrant coastal resort of Mamaia Nord, usually a haven for holidaymakers, became a source of distress for renowned artist Mihai Trăistariu during the recent long holiday weekend. Trăistariu, who owns several studio apartments in the area, found his peace shattered by a music festival held in close proximity to his properties. He describes two nights of relentless, high-decibel noise and powerful vibrations, which he claims have caused physical damage to his apartments and severely impacted his well-being.

N-am dormit deloc, e ca un cutremur continuu

— Mihai TrăistariuDescribing the intense noise and vibrations from the festival.

Speaking to Adevărul, Trăistariu vividly recounts the ordeal, stating, "I didn't sleep at all, it's like a continuous earthquake." He elaborates that the sheer intensity of the bass from the festival's sound system caused the very structure of his building to shake. "It's not just the music, but the block that shakes from its foundations. Like an earthquake with 10,000 aftershocks," he lamented, emphasizing the prolonged nature of the disturbance, which lasted from evening until the early hours of the morning.

Nu e doar muzica, ci blocul care se zguduie din temelii. Ca la un cutremur cu 10.000 de replici

— Mihai TrăistariuFurther emphasizing the impact of the festival's bass on his building.

The artist's frustration extends beyond mere sleep deprivation. He reports discovering cracks in his apartment walls, which he attributes directly to the intense bass vibrations. "My walls cracked from the bass yesterday. Probably it's like that in the whole area," he noted, expressing concern that other residents might be facing similar issues. While Trăistariu acknowledges the economic benefits and the enjoyment derived from such festivals, he strongly advocates for responsible event planning. "I understand perfectly the fun... But it must be taken into account that there are also people who want and need to sleep," he stated, urging organizers to consider the impact on the thousands of residents in Mamaia Nord. He proposes that festivals be relocated to areas further from residential zones, ensuring that entertainment does not come at the cost of citizens' health and property.

This situation highlights a recurring conflict between the desire for lively entertainment and the right to peace and quiet for residents in popular tourist destinations. Trăistariu's experience, amplified by his public profile, brings attention to the need for better urban planning and regulation of large-scale events. From our perspective in Romania, where such festivals are increasingly popular, finding a balance that respects both economic opportunities and the quality of life for local communities is a crucial challenge.

Înțeleg perfect distracția că și eu am cântat <<Bananele>>, <<Banii și fetele>>, <<La mare - la soare>> și <<Tornero>> în sute de cluburi și discoteci. Dar. trebuie luat în calcul că există și oameni care vor și trebuie să doarmă. Suntem mii de oameni care locuim în Mamaia Nord. Da, aici, la blocurile astea! Pricep și că sunt mulți bani la mijloc și că e păcat să-i rateze primăria!. (...)Eu sunt de acord cu festivalurile dar trebuie duse în capătul stațiunii, unde nu sunt locuințe. Sunt supărat că nu au gândit cei care au organizat festivalul!
