Christchurch City Council is debating a major rewrite of the central city's noise rules after live music venue owners warned they were liable to be exposed to noise complaints.

Some bars are limited to 45 decibels, which is about the same as the hum of a refrigerator. But with the City's new stadium, venues say they need less restrictions to make the most of the buzz.

City Councillor Andrei Moore is campaigning for the removal of these noise limits, and he told Matt and Tyler that these restrictions are, 'a number of years behind.'
