I would address it via the following ways:

1) Ask the sound guy/gal to turn it down. (or get a message passed to sound person via a volunteer if you don't have access.)

2) Contact the event coordinator and/or Safety folks at event, to report the issue.

3) If the problem still is not resolved, tell event coordinator (have Pit Admin contact them) you'd like to open an 'injury report' (or whatever they are called) due to the high sound levels-- this forces the concern to be documented (and probably resolved quickly.)

Come to think of it, the end game buzzer at Northern Lights was quite obnoxiously loud in the queuing area, where I was working as inspector making sure bots were ready to go. I should have taken one or more of the above steps. I'll be the lookout for the same at 10K Lakes this weekend.
