I honestly think it would be too difficult to try to control the volume in the pits. You could barely hear the Pit Admins announcements. So I think it would be safe to guess that most of the sound came from people working on robots and talking. And I find it hard to imagine Safety people walking around from pit to pit asking people to keep their voices down or to stop using noisy tools on their robots...

I'm specifically talking about the stands. I never noticed the pits as being too loud frankly, at any of the events I've been to. And if they ARE too loud there, the proper response is - it's a noisy environment - ear protection is required. But that shouldn't be the case with the stands/bleachers where FIRST and the crew running sound control the volume.
