Guys, I highly doubt Helmut would ever actually sue the university. But it is worth an email with a decibel reading if the volume of the PA isn’t addressed.
I’ll preface it by saying I think PA has always been too loud, but…bringing up osha is miss using the purpose of the permissible exposure limit of 90db. For work places OSHA allows a worker to be exposed to 90db for an 8 hour time waited avg. for 40 hour week WITHOUT the use of hearing protection. At 100db for 2 hours, 105db for 1 hr. Those levels are when hearing protection is required by employers. It’s not meant to set volume levels for football games and concerts where you knowingly and voluntarily submit yourself. If it’s too loud for you at any given volume wear hearing protection.
if it is to loud bring ear plugs that is what the dads do at our daughters all girl high school when they have an event. Believe me a few hundred screeching girls in a gym is worse than any base problems that UL has
I sit upper deck south end 20 yard line and it’s loud. That’s pretty far from the source. That grass hill must shake when the PA talks.
I'm in section G right next to the hill and honestly I didn't even notice the PA being loud
They say what can be done. That little knob on the dash board, turn it slightly to the right. I notice about 4-5 say the volume is OK, and 25,142 at Saturdays game say turn it down.
