Neighbors press Holyoke City panel over loud Wyoff Country Club events; committee requests permits and sound data
Summary
Neighbors told the Holyoke City Public Safety Committee that amplified music and weekend DJ events at Wyoff Country Club carry into nearby homes for hours. The committee asked staff to provide Wyoff’s loudspeaker and entertainment permits, encouraged residents to record decibel levels, and tabled further action pending police, licensing and health input.
Chair Anne Tolheimer convened an extended public comment period on complaints that loud, bass-heavy music from Wyoff Country Club frequently disrupts nearby neighborhoods.
Several residents said the music can be heard inside closed homes for hours. “The noise is so loud you can keep every window and every door closed and you can still hear it,” said Robert Zjac of 39 Mount Tom A, who said he has repeatedly raised the issue with the venue and will document and call police when events exceed acceptable levels. David Worick of 31 Mount Tom displayed an aerial photo and said the loudest events—most commonly Sunday DJ brunches from noon to about 5 p.m.—are audible across the neighborhood and distress pets.
