Sound Levels Why does the music at games sometimes sound loud and sometimes sound normal?
Music played in the RBC Center during hockey and basketball games is monitored by a sound meter. Sound levels vary due to the shape and design of the building; on average, levels are about 10 decibels higher on the Upper Level than they are on the Club or Lower levels. Sound levels are monitored throughout all games to ensure adequate quality and volume for all guests. Guests with sensitive ears may find they are more comfortable with seats in the Lower Level for most sporting events.
