I honestly can't say i've been to an event where the music was too loud... I was at NJ and Chesapeake this year. both events from the stands you could hear everyone around you fine, and hold conversations just fine. The only time it was a bit difficult was when we sat in the bottom rows one day at Chesapeake, which is to be expected, that whole inverse square law. And even then it wasn't bad at all.

the only event i've been at that was WAY too loud was NYC last year. It was far too loud, even at the top of the stands. that was excessive.

you have to remember at that music has to be loud for people sitting in the top rows to hear. so if it's too loud for you guys, I suggest sitting away form the field another 20 feet, and the sound will drop considerably.


edit: also, you claim volume levels of 120dB. Could you give us some more information, where did you measure this, at the field, at the top of the stand,s etc etc. Did you measure it at all, was it a guess, was it told to you by the sound crew.
120dB is about he noise a plain generates as it's taking off, thats very loud.
