kryptonite Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 From the NYT.... http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/15/sports/f...ll/15colts.html The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health suggests people wear protective gear if they work for more than eight hours in an environment with sound reaching 85 to 90 decibels. For every increase of 5 decibels, the unprotected exposure time should be reduced by half. At 100 decibels, the exposure time should be about two hours. (regarding colts v. steelers game earlier this year) And when Colts quarterback Peyton Manning hit receiver Marvin Harrison for an 80-yard touchdown play on their first play from scrimmage, the sound level peaked at 108 decibels, nearly as loud as the revving of a motorcycle engine.

Czarina Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 It's all that piped in sound that puts them over the top. We know the Colts fans on their own aren't enough to make the noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DO Jaded Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Only 108 after a big play like that? The Hawks/Skins game hit 102 before they even kicked off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skylive5 Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Only 108 after a big play like that? The Hawks/Skins game hit 102 before they even kicked off. 1266005[/snapback] If I am not mistaken.... in the Kingdome it was 100+ even before they opened the gates two hours before game time.... and stayed above 100 until the game was over. The Seahawks 12th man (12 being a retired number in Seattle) has always been, without a doubt, the loudest crowd I have ever heard at a game of any sport. And they do it without piping in anything. Indy is an amateur when it comes to crowd noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case, there's no danger at all since the sound peaked at 108 dB and probably only for a few seconds. It's not exactly like facing Led Zeppelin's amp stack for two hours, is it?

spain Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Seattle has the most apathetic, bandwagon jumping fans in the league. That is a fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
