Decibel level

I saw 117 but it was hard to see at times so wouldn’t be surprised if more

It got very loud. My ears are still recovering and I’m ready to do it again lol

I’m curious where it’s recorded from and what it sounds like ON the field.

It was over 100 many times during the game according to Apple Watch.

My watch recorded it at 117db at around the time we had them at their 1 yard line and the Dee return.

I’m sure that is more based on my proximity than the entire environment itself, but it was plenty loud and sure had an impact on the game.

Honestly unless they have changed or improved sound design so that the crowd noise is lowered for viewers on tv then it sounded fairly par for the course for Neyland. I never thought, man the crowd sounds like it’s rocking the place. I remember a few years ago against Oklahoma my tv was literally buzzing and having the volume try to cut in and out from the crowd roar and it stayed pretty consistent.

I was at that game. I've never experienced a crowd like that.

I was there and it was the normal Neyland loud. I will say it was not 15 Oklahoma loud or 98 Florida loud but my ears just stopped ringing this morning. Maybe I am just getting old HA!

Maybe like 118 or so. Wasn’t nearly as loud as some night games in the past. Got very loud on a fourth and one and on the possession where they were on the one yard line. Place exploded on the punt return.

Correct, It was not as loud as a couple games last year. The Alabama game last year it was so loud it turned into static like white noise in your ears. The A&M game never achieved that level.

Expect Georgia to be on that level if the game is tight.

I will say A&M was having plenty of trouble with the crowd noise though.

I was using an app on my phone in the 1st quarter. 113.8 was the max. I never saw above 111 on the stadium broadcast.

But, I wasn’t running the app when key moments happened.

An absolutely awesome tool to have and use at the games. Going to start using myself, as well. Mainly for comparative uses, however. A couple quick things on this:

1. This is not the official decibel meter used. There could be some differential between actual and your reading, based on that alone.
2. The differential between your location and the location of the Neyland decibel meter also makes a difference; i.e. Neyland's, like other official readings, is on the field.
3. The person above who quoted 119.1, is what I saw as well. Got a lot louder in the latter part of the 3rd through the end. But you already addressed that lol.

Again, an awesome tool to have and will be adopting myself. However, I always like to bring some light to the decibel-reading area, as it's something I've looked a lot into and there's a lot of misinformation out there about it.

Think this is best used for comparative purposes. Such as for you, it will be great data for sitting in the same or similar seat at a later game.

What's the name of the app and, more importantly, is it free? lol

Go Big Orange!

Decibel X is the app. I use it for work environments just to check.

I held it too close when I was yelling and it spiked at 130. The other readings were from above our heads.

If you leave it running it will show the min and max. I was using my phone and kept shutting it off. Then lost interest. The game was too good.

We had an A&M fan in front of us say it wasn’t that loud early in the game. After that series where they started on the 1 yard line till the punt return TD he apologized and said he would shut up now.

Very cool. Lol you got a heck of a voice to get to 130!

Will be downloading. Was field level at the time of Dee's return and would love to have had it on me then to get a reading. Thanks for the info!

IF we got north of 120 I would guess it was there. Crowd was rabid after the defensive stand then exploded during the return and TD. I couldn’t see the decibel meter bc I was more concerned with jumping up and down like an idiot at that time but that felt like the loudest point in the game.

I did see 116.9 on the jumbotron. However, that was misleading as they had music on to ramp up the crowd. When the music turned off, it hit, I believe 111.

This is a great thing to watch too. Usually a little dB drop when music goes off, which is expected. As a source of noise goes away, noise level typically drops.

Very cool though, especially in light of that, is the loudest moments in Neyland, there was zero music at the moment. I.e. the 98 missed UF kick, 01 Stephens UGA TD, the made 04 UF kick, the almost-safety of Bryce Young, and the explosion of the kick going through against Bama. No music during those explosions. People also forget the kick against Bama registered as two different earthquakes in Knoxville. Truly unbelievable.
