Your not wrong... That needed sound checking.. For me it was way over 100 dB I couldn't tell you the legal decibels limit, but they sure did crank it up tonight to uncomfortable levels, see my previous post from before the game even faced off...
In a past life I did a lot of work on noise annoyance. Technically an L10 dBa of 80 is one where case precedent will back someone sueing for compensation. (BTW L10 means the level of sound for at least 10% of the time) I have repeatedly monitored our pa and it not only exceeds this limit but is in the range of potential damage to hearing. It’s not just annoying it’s dangerous. I’ve told the club but of course I was ignored. Taking babies there without ear defenders is a really foolish thing to do.
Don't take it to the club, it goes as far as Simms who doesn't give a toss, funny story here.. a mate used to work for the arena in the white house, had Simms whinging at him to turn the volume up, my mate raised a fader which had nothing to do with the sound level, Simms--- that sounds better.
If you can provide evidence to the Arena management they are the ones with the legal responsibility and the power to make changes.
