Dome Decibel Meter. Have I been living a lie? (1 Viewer)

[SaintKenKen]

I've always enjoyed the Dome Decibel Meter thing up on the scoreboard. At the home opener, I could hear how loud the dome was. I could feel it. And I look up at the scoreboard and there are some rookie numbers on that dang decibel meter. I mean, it wasn't "Dome Reopening 2006" loud but at times it shoulda definitely hit the yellow.

Have I been living a lie? Are they just toying with us? Does anyone have an actual decibel meter to check? Because I'm thinking this Sunday vs Eagles may be the loudest the dome has been in a very long time...

You can take it to the bank. The Dome will be louder this Sunday than it has been in a few years.

My body is ready. A buddy was awarded some very very good tickets and is kind enough to bring me.

I don't intend on having the powers of speech when I exit that dome.

WHO DAT?!?!

(I'm still going to try to bring a decibel meter somehow. I'm a big nerd and curious)

when i went for the screwjob NFCCG i had downloaded an app. and they showed it on the screens on big downs and stuff. it was so loud the ceiling broke in a locker room somewhere. believe davis got an INT and we erupted.

then the screwjob. and you could hear a pin drop.

extreme high to low in 3 hours. vowed to never go back after witnessing that in person.

This is what was falling from the ceiling during Sunday's NFC Championship Game

The Super Dome was so loud at times on Sunday that the ceiling was falling or was it?

I've always found that Decibel thing on screen to be a little dubious. It's been deafening on a 3rd or 4th down & it'll show 84.7---then a few minutes later, coming off a time out with everyone sitting on their hands, you get 126. Still say it's us, KC & Seattle for loudest on any given weekend

You can just use your phone, and an app. If you have Android this one is rated 4.7 stars - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sweetvrn.tools.soundmeter

But there are plenty of options.

The problem with this is, if you get different results from the dome meter, which are you going to believe?

Cowturd Stadium had 115 on the screen at one point Sunday, and there was NO way. It was relatively quiet.

It's just a graphic IMO.

I think it’s a gimmick. It doesn’t seem to reconcile with what I actually hear.

Not very expensive. I wonder if it would make it past the metal detectors.

I’m screaming my lungs out no matter what. The decibel meter is to mess with our heads because we will be screaming, stomping, banging on metal, and the damn thing is taunting us by hovering at 90/100. I see a lot of people on their phones…not standing or cheering.

Those graphics sometimes aren't right. I was in the cowboys stadium on our first drive it was as quiet as it is for our offense at home. They put that graphic up and it started at 127db, I said bs. the guy next to me laughed.

I hope so because I bought this exact thing earlier. I'll be comparing this to the phone app to the scoreboard...you know...for science

LETs GOOOOOO

Also bought a hand held decibel meter. So, we'll have 3 way verification.
