Anybody work with TVA seismographs?

[Orangedogsrule]

Back in the late 70's when TVA filled the towers and office space all over Knoxville with nuclear workers, there was an operating demonstration seismograph in the west tower. I used to think surely it could pick up Volunteer ball games. Some years later, I hear a seismograph on another SEC campus picked up a ball game. I wonder if that could be done and documented here in Knoxville.

Drunk Cajuns vs drunk hillbillies. Tough to say who would be louder.

Bring a sound level meter to the game with you and take a dB reading.

So, did we just barely register, or did it even rank on the Richter scale? It would be cool to have a regular "Richter Reading" of the VOLS games.

There is a free app for iPhones called Decibels. My company's insurance company profiled our shop at work with a noise meter. The guy performing the audit told me about it app. He said that the app is very accurate compared to his noise meter. He said that if doubt about hearing protection use the app.

Down load it and see what the Big Orange Nation can do! Pain begins at 125 dB.

Erroneous.

Pain begins with the first AJ Johnson hit.

When it's rocking like the old days, like it was briefly during the 2012 UT vs UF game, I can promise you it's approaching or over 125 dB.

I'm not talking about sound volume or crowd noise measured in decibels. I am talking about ground motion. The vibration caused by a full Neyland Stadium going wild a actually causing a small but measurable earthquake the TVA seismometer can pick up over in downtown at the TVA towers on Summit Hill Dr.
