A HOMEOWNER who lives across the street from a stadium has fumed about how his home shakes when concerts are held.
Christopher Jaray compared the moment to a scene from the blockbuster movie Jurassic Park.
He blasted the noise that comes from the Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, New York during music events, per The Gothamist.
The venue, a staple in the borough for 100 years, has hosted some of the biggest names in music, including The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Drake, and Ed Sheeran.
Locals were outraged following an electronic dance festival that was recently held.
Jaray, 46, claimed the water started to shake as the music blared.
He said: “It was like the scene from Jurassic Park when the dinosaurs are coming. You see the water start to shake.”
Jaray said it almost felt as if he was on the stage.
He said: “I could be inside my house, I could be outside my house. It doesn’t matter.”
Jaray is not the first homeowner who complained about the noise during gigs.

In May, Maggi Li, who lives just feet away from the stadium, told CBS: “I can’t take it anymore.”
Last year, officials at the Department of Environmental Protection slapped the venue with five noise violations.
Mike Luba, the president of Forest Hills Stadium, stressed that officials look to make improvements to the venue every year.
He told CBS: “We’re gonna do a whole ‘nother round of sound mitigation to try again to make it a little bit better.”
And Pete Fontana told the New York Times in 2014: “It was nice and quiet here until they started this thing up. If I wanted to go to sleep – forget it.”
Locals have also complained about music stars who include swear words in their lyrics.
Concerts restarted at Forest Hills Stadium in 2013 and the venue has undergone major renovation works since it first opened.
The stadium was home to The US Open tennis championships between 1924 and 1977, and the venue first started hosting concerts in the 1960s.
The U.S. Sun has approached Forest Hills Stadium for comment.
