I don't know of any official statement that has been issued by FIRST.

If I were given an opportunity to suggest guidelines for FIRST sound operators then off the cuff I might would say something like,

For normal competition field operations, normal sound levels should run 80 to 85 dbA with peaks at 90 dbA.

That is just an opinion. It would be good if other teams did sound measurements like we did at various events so we can trade notes as the season progresses.

Hopefully we can get a feedback mechanism to a specific person so that can transmit guidance to the sound operators in the upcoming events.
