Field Reset is already tough.
Requiring texts or an app to vote would lead to longer Match times.

The ref could use a decibel measuring app to determine the selection in short order. Make the selection and move on.

I think this is a good idea. I would be in favor of using an app (or text for those that don't have a smart phone) but that would need a rule change. Using a meter instead of just the referee would make it more quantifiable. The referee would still need to listen for other noises like the pit loud speaker.
