Anybody else live near CSHS and notice how much louder it is this year? Lived here 6 years and it's never been like this. Can't have a conversation outside and cam hear every syllable inside and our house is normally pretty sound proof. Was normal during football season but soccer and track are incredibly loud for some reason.

And yes, I emailed Mr Grimes (Principal) basically just inquiring if something had recently changed because like I said it was not like this during football season.

I thought I was hearing voices for a minute and then walked outside and realized it was the Stadium a half mile away!

Yes. We've taken to calling it "the voice." Pretty constant tonight with a track meet going on. It's absolutely ridiculous. If a neighbor was being this loud I'd be calling in a noise complaint.

Maybe the Reed DJ landed a part time gig.

And that neighbor would get a ticket. Call and complain. They shouldn't get a free pass just because it's a school.

What would the ticket be for if it is before 10 pm ?

They just got a new scoreboard and sound system upgrade … probably need to tweak the volume settings.

I'm over a mile away (straight line- maybe 1.25) and could hear it pretty well. Not word for word but enough.

So has anyone been in the stadium? Is it excessively loud up close?

I've been in the stadium twice this season for games. The music is loud pregame during warmups but that's the case at every stadium. For player intros and anthem it's normal and during the game there is never anything playing.

Wonder if the new system has more bass? It travels much further, through walls, etc and sounds loud at a distance. While it might not be much different in person.

I think maybe it's directional. Like they need to aim the speakers down or something to focus the sound where it should be.

This spring you can hear CSHS all the way to Deacon. Can't necessarily understand it but you can hear it. Historically if the wind was right you could hear a bit from Consol in that area. One of these nights I'm guessing dueling PA systems from both high schools.

I do believe Consol is also getting a new scoreboard as part of their stadium renovations so....

Edit, from the CSISD website:

A&M Consolidated Tiger Stadium Renovations/Expansion
  • This project will increase the stadium capacity from 5,238 to 6,300 by adding additional seating on both the home and visitor side of the stadium, which will be needed with the increased student capacity of the school.
  • New press box, concessions, and restroom structures will be constructed on the home side of the stadium to resemble those at College Station High School. The current concessions building, and other old structures will be removed.
  • New home and visitor ticket booths will be constructed and both entrances will be renovated.
  • This project also includes removal of the bleachers at the south end of the stadium, turfing of the north "D-Zone," resurfacing of the track, and adding a digital scoreboard.
College Station Cougar Stadium Renovations/Expansion
  • This project will increase the stadium capacity from 4,573 to 6,300 by adding additional seating on both the home and visitor side of the stadium, which will be needed with the increased student capacity of the school.
  • Due to code requirements, additional restrooms will be added to accommodate the increased stadium capacity.
  • Due to chronic water intrusion, this project includes funds to repair existing pressbox exterior walls and to replace the roof of the pressbox.
  • Concrete around the visitor's baseball and softball concessions area will be replaced due to extensive heaving.
    This project also includes turfing of the north "D-Zone," resurfacing of the track, and adding a digital scoreboard.

Was there last night
Doesn't sound any louder to me
Also doesn't sound any louder at my house ~ 1/2 mile away. I think at the softball field they upgraded the sound system but don't know about the football stadium. From my experience track meets have always been loud at the stadium over the past 5 years. May have something to do with the wind we have been having as well

If you ever hear "if you build it, they will come" or "go the distance", you might consider going to the next city council meeting or start looking for Terrance Mann.

We are near Graham and Alexandria and could hear it as we were trying to fall asleep last night. Was also able to tell it was a track meet while standing on the back porch (was loud enough to understand PA)

My wife and I noticed it too (Springbrook). Heard it from the bathroom at first and thought someone was right outside my window. Then went for a walk and could hear it pretty clearly.

Eventually I was able to just kinda zone it out. It's nice to have such a peaceful part of town that that's the worst thing to hear!

That's where we got it. One of my favorite movies.

When the weather conditions are (were) just right, I can (could) hear the Aggie Marching Band practice from my house.

I was inside my house one night this week (on Alexandria) and thought my neighbors were having a conversation outside my window. That's how ridiculously loud it is.

So just an update. I had emailed Mr Grimes Wednesday night. He thanked me for my feedback, confirmed that they were still working their way through the new audio system and would get my feedback to the responsible people to make adjustments.

If Mr. Grimes said he was going to do that, it will get done.

He's a great principal.

Imagine what those folks on Quail Hollow thought when they built Viking Stadium right behind them in the early 70s.

I'm off Deacon too. I thought it was coming from the ballfields on Rock Prairie.

yeah, the other night it sounded like someone was blasting a radio in neighbors backyard... been in this house for 27 years and never heard the PA system that loud before. So they got their money's worth with the new system... but they need to adjust it.
