Is anyone concerned about the loudspeaker at Wake?

I'm not sure if yall are old enough to remember back in Tommy Bowden's days when we would have really tough games against Wake Forest, but most of those issues were due to just how loud it gets there due to the piped in noise. Back in those days, you weren't even supposed to pipe in noise.
Well, now, in this Covid-era, piped in noise is allowed. There's no way that TL16 and our young OL will be able to hear anything. I'm worried that Dabo is unaware of this. I don't have his email address, but maybe someone on here could reach out to Ross Taylor. I know he's the media relations guy, so I'm thinking he could let Dabo know that we really need to practice silent counts.
We're vastly more talented than Wake, but I would just feel bad for our guys if we got into a dogfight with Wake because we took it for granite that without fans, the stadium wouldn't be loud.

It's definitely something to be concerned about.

I just sent Dabo a fax about this and I will let you know when he faxes me back a response.

If we make it to December, I’m also very worried about VT.

Will they play the entire Metallica box set on full blast during the game?
And by that time, their engineering school could probably make some cardboard cutouts that hop up and down and jingle their keys.
We’ll have no chance.

cutout band members sit in the last rows of the upper deck too. Typical classless hokies.

There’s a lot of things that concern me, but that one has not and never would have occurred to me.

A couple of questions:
What sounds are allowed? Jet engines, jackhammers, babies crying, or anything goes .
Is there a max on the allowed volume (dBs)?
Does it have to be turned down or off when the offensive team gets set at the line of scrimmage?
Are speakers going to be allowed right behind the visiting team's bench?
I imagine quite a few ADs and coaches have brought up these or similar questions.
