Since FIRST is really pushing SAFETY this year they should expand into the safety as it relates to sound levels. The common workplace has standards that are set by OSHA and other state and federal agencies.

It would only take 1 person to file a lawsuit claiming that their hearing was damaged for the crunch to come down on the music levels so that they are monitored at ALL events.

Speaking as someone that already has hearing damage as a result of loud noises, I would welcome regulation at the events.
