When loud "noisemakers" were a constant item in the stands, there was a need for a louder level of music to even hear it. Since FIRST has taken steps to abolish most loud noisemakers, there hasn't been the need to keep the music decibles as high as in the past.
Music in the pits is not beneficial to most teams, as there are constant "pit announcements" and calls to queue. The DJ would not be aware when the pit area needed their speakers for an announcement.
The most frustrating problem I have had with the music, is that the DJ's tend to "take a break" when they start the music, and leave it continue playing during field announcements. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy the music at the events, but I also like to hear the field announcements and introductions.
In some arenas, the speakers are directed to specific sections of seating, maybe if you wanted a louder experience, you could have your team sit there? (I know I have moved out of a few of these sections because it was too direct.)
