What is a silent disco and why choose it in Perth?

A silent disco uses wireless headphones that receive music on multiple channels (typically 3). Guests switch channels to choose playlists — so everyone can dance together without loudspeakers. For Perth: it avoids council noise limits in suburbs like Fremantle, Subiaco and Joondalup, works great for apartment complex events, and is ideal for mixed-age school discos.

How does a silent disco work?

Quick technical breakdown:

  • Transmitters: Send audio to headphones. Use wired (HI power) for up to ~500m in open areas or wireless (LOW power) for ~100m. We recommend HI power for large outdoor events or areas with interference.
  • Channels: Up to 3 channels — each channel lights up a different headphone colour (Red, Green, Blue) so DJs or playlists can run simultaneously.
  • Battery life: Headphones last ~8–9 hours on full charge — ideal for evening parties and school events.
  • Connection: Connect phones, tablets, laptops or DJ gear via Bluetooth or audio cables (RCA to USB-C/AUX/adaptor included).

For full technical specs, see the Silent Disco product page.

Where can you host a silent disco in Perth — outdoors or indoors?

Great options:

  • Backyards — Perfect for noise-conscious suburbs like Mount Hawthorn, Victoria Park or Claremont. (Small space? See our narrow-fit bouncy castles.)
  • School halls & carnivals — Low noise, safe for kids. (We work with many schools; check School Event Hire.)
  • Parks & reserves — Requires council permits in many LGAs (e.g., City of Perth, City of Stirling). Contact local council and us early — see Contact PBCH.
  • Indoor function centres & community halls — Ideal for winter and rainy days. See our Indoor Event Hire.

Do you need permits or approvals to run one in a Perth park?

Short answer: Often, yes. If your event is on council land (foreshore reserves, sports ovals, public parks) you’ll typically need a permit and possibly public liability proof. For school and private venues you usually won’t need a council permit, but check your venue’s rules.

Are silent discos safe and hygienic for kids and schools?

Yes. We provide:

  • Clean, charged headphones (sanitised between hires)
  • Operator supervision options for school events
  • WorkSafe-compliant setup and $20M public liability insurance

Local tips: How to avoid problems when hosting a silent disco in Perth

  1. Book early for peak seasons: Summer (Nov–Mar) and school leavers months book fast — reserve headphones early.
  2. Check council rules: If you’re in Fremantle, Armadale or Joondalup, read local council event permit pages and give PBCH a heads-up so we can help with paperwork.
  3. Power & backup: Use HI power (mains) transmitters for large outdoor areas. For small backyard events, LOW power mode is fine.
  4. Mix with other hire items: Pair a silent disco with inflatables, food machines (fairy floss / sno cones) or the Giant LED Boom Box for photo ops.
