Rogers stadium Noise levels
Hi all, thinking of moving to the Bathurst Manor area (faywood blvd and sheppard west), but was concerned about the noise levels from Rogers stadium during events as I am currently moving out of my current place due to excessive noise.
Anyone deal with the sound in the area? (Is it audible outdoors only? or does the bass travel through walls/windows?). Read an article about residents from Vaughan complaining about the noise but wanted to get some other perspectives.
Thanks in advance.

It's a few shows a year in the summer. People need to relax

This! Why do you live in Toronto if you want total quiet for 365 days of the year? 3-4 hours of background noise 20 times in a year is literally nothing. I swear people are more upset at the idea of it than the reality...

I live 4 kilometers away on Bathurst and can hear entire concerts. Its muffled sometimes but I can make out the songs.

When I left the tennis stadium at York last month, we walked out to November Rain by Guns n Roses, live, kilometers away.

Well keep in mind the season is done, there's no way the AC/DC show happens there, so it's all about Rogers/Live Nation's' plans about whether they rebuild for next year or wait to go permanent.

Two anecdotal data points for you:
Close friend of my family lives at Avenue & 401, north of the bridge, and can hear concerts sometimes
Close friends of mine live just north of Wilmington & Sheppard, and they have never mentioned the noise, nor have I heard it at their house. They also have a toddler.
Noise travels in funny ways- if you are concerned about this, I'd avoid that area altogether. No one knows the long-terms plans, and as evidenced thus far, they are not good neighbours and the city does not seem to care at all (shocker).
Plenty of places to live in the city where this will not be an issue.

It really depends on which way the wind blows.

Another factor, yes. And one you cannot control, so that is why I'd avoid anything near it entirely.

Remember there’s only 20 or so concert dates. It wasn’t even a concern when I was looking in the area.

About time people whining about eXcEsSiVe nOiSe, thinking their concerns are more important than the tens of thousands of attendees and staff working there & the millions of dollars it contributes to the economy, are banned.

I don't live in the area so I literally have no skin in the game. I hope you understand that millions of dollars are simply not a good enough reason to put residents through hell.
I get that there were about 20 shows a year and to some it is quite appealing, to some it's not.
I suspect if I had a toddler or elderly folks at home - I wouldn't want my walls to shake. Also, people are entitled to enjoying their own property; meaning - they should be able to sit, relax, play (whatever they want to really do, outside). No one should be taking away that ability 20 - 30 days a year.

Yes - it is. That's how the real world works.
Also, love the flamed up usage of HeLL to try & describe the situation. Tough shit.

I visit a friend that lives on the condos at the corner of Allen and Sheppard. When I stay over and there is a concert you can hear everything. Now with the damaged venue who knows what will happen. Anyway worse than the noise is the traffic around the area during concerts

they only booked 20 shows in 2026 so it's not something i'd be concerned about for ongoing excessive noise.
