Maybe your regional isn't as bad as others, but at Buckeye last season, we couldn't hear each other yelling while we were in queue. Our clothes were shaking from the sound waves being emitted from the floor speaker. We even had to talk pretty loud to hear each other while in the stands. Yet you go to the pit area, and have to basically work silently in order to hear the pit announcements.

I understand that some semi-loud, energetic music helps make the event. But safety (coming from a safety captain) must always be first/FIRST priority. I don't know about you, but I'd like to leave the three-day event with my hearing still intact, thank you very much.

Although there's nothing wrong with noise itself, there is such thing as too much noise. Please don't make statements that something like this, which is clearly a safety issue, should not be "addressed at all".

Thanks.

EDIT: I agree with Alex and Eric above.
