Towns,
From what we know, has the canon had ever been tested in the stadium?
I was told there was extensive testing and decibel monitoring. There's a detailed report that I hope to have within 10 days.

Put it Back!
They test fired '02 inside of Jerryworld prior to the 2013 Cotton Bowl. Later they were told the sound check was fine but they didn't have room on the field level... had to make room for the Kilgore Rangerettes.

Hold your breath, spider! I've heard the same thing! Tomorrow afternoon.

Seahawks fans had set a record of 136.6 in a win over San Francisco in September. The mark was topped by Kansas City fans in October with 137.5 decibels.
To put that in perspective, a jet engine at 100 feet is about 140 decibels.

Maybe we should acquire (rent?) some decibel meters and take them to the Ole' Miss game. with meter readings over these safe values logged in different areas inside Kyle we could throw the EHS argument right back at them.

quote:There are a few apps that do this as well. May not be quite as accurate as a proper instrument, but I'd bet they do the job well enough, and might be a lot more practical for a large number of people to obtain. The more places being measured, the better chance of catching it over 140.

The CDC and NIOSH say that the maximum exposure for 120 dB is ~ 7.5 seconds while 140 is ~.117 seconds (according to my quick math). +6 dB is a doubling of sound so 120 dB is a healthy distance from 140, but both are loud. Either way I am wearing hearing protection.
