How loud is it inside United Center for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final?



NHL.com aims to find out. We have a decibel meter packed alongside all the laptops, notebooks, cameras and pens, so we will provide some level of the noise and excitement inside the building at key parts of Game 1. Pre-game and 1st period will be taken from the press box. 2nd period will be taken from the 200 level. 3rd period will be taken from the 300 level.



And the decibel meter will be making the trek to Philadelphia for Games 3 and 4 of the Final to see if Flyers fans can raise the roof at Wachovia Center.

National Anthem

Pre-game 115-121dB

NOTES:

Level at which sustained exposure may result in hearing loss: 90 - 95dB

Pain begins: 125dB

Loudest recommended exposure WITH hearing protection: 140dB

Loudest sound possible: 194dB

If I'm there tomorrow it better hit 125. People need to lose hearing for the Finals.

It peaked a little over 200 in my house.

Cranberriy juice, just to spice it up with some contrast.

The levels during the NA do not surprise me. It was one of the loudest I have heard at the UC in a really long time.

Mixed with crushed habenero seeds for pure butt clenching pain.
