Look for the people wearing the green polo shirts. I talked to your team as a Safety Advisor multiple times throughout the weekend (congratulations on the award btw, you guys did a fantastic job and had a great safety program) and never heard one complaint/comment about sound brought up amongst the discussions among ourselves as to what was being complained about as far as safety was concerned.

But I believe the first people you could come to find would be the Safety Advisors in the green polo shirts. Then we can relay that info to whoever controls the A/V aspects of the competition.

As a side note, 1511 does have a rather large team... and was very loud in the stands themselves, so that does add to the ambient noise in the whole venue.
Just something else to consider before just blaming the sound folks, or the announcers. The teams bring their excitement to the events, and that means a loud event.

Fact is this isn't a science fair, nor a library, and it should have some energy (and sound level) to it.

Not to say that some of it can't be controlled, but it's not always the levels of the microphones, or the speakers that make an event "loud" at a potentially unsafe level.

Do we want to tell teams like 1511, 365, 341, or other particularly spirited (and large) teams to be quiet in the stands? Of course not.
Can we do something about the audio levels of the speakers, and the microphones if they are too loud? Yes.
