Please save our eardrums by lowering volume on sound effects at Champs

[billylo]

Multiple samples were taken from Friday afternoon:

Locations: Last row on the 100 level on each side of the stadium (midpoint between two adjacent fields)
Duration: Start of one match to the start of the following match
Tools: iPhone 6s with Decibel App

Sustained average audio level = 86 decibels
Peak Audio Level = 100 decibels (from match start 1 to match start 2)

Data collected from all four sides were consistent (i.e. each field's audio level are about the same.)

My observations:

- It's not good to send 100 decibels noise 60 times a day for multiple days.
- Duncan's suggestion of adding speakers to help drive teams is a good one. It enables the audio crew to customize sound level that are comfortable for both the audience and people on the field.

We can do better and this would make regional experience better too. Not just for champs.
