From tbe information they gave i will only be venue staff, complainent, and someone from the council. No mention of whether sound levels will be monitored from outside.
I got the imression that they just wanted a suitably loud sound system so they could set te limiter at a level that appeases this one complainent.

The start of this may convey your message to the council man.

But the nature of the tracks in the scenario makes them whimsical.

Exactly my first thought. These people are clueless, but at least they are trying to test it. You need to explain that with a room full of people even just talking it will add a lot (even up to half) to the overall limit. I would demonstrate that not every track is the same also, so it needs to be in a good position. It would be good to educate the neighbour if poss but in the right fashion. Could be a good political move on your behalf with the venue esp if you bring along some handheld monitors and perhaps print off some information?? Feel free to copy this: http://yourdj.co.uk/sound-meters-noise-limiters/
Are you being paid for this Shaun?
As a test I would use every breath you take as it has a really great high, mid and bass to it.
I would compare it to brightside and then perhaps Bob Marley as it has a lot of high end.
For a funny track. Rihanna - please don't stop the music. Good one to test as its sampled from a disco track so will be consistent.
100db would be the goal for a start off, ideally 105??

Song recommendations welcome.
I have seen both sides of the argument.
I have DJ-ed and so need to play fairly loud.
When my next door neighbour moved in they would have very loud parties from mid evening until about 7:30am next morning.
Just how or when I was supposed to sleep I don't know.
So I complained to their housing association and haven't heard a party since.

Toby, for heavens sake!!
He's Scottish.
He's nearly as tight as me. I once dropped 50p, and got struck by it on the back of the head.

Not cause and effect. DJs need to play at the level required to suit location and circumstances. Not necessarily loud.
