I don't know why anyone was upset with the dezibel meter!
I really had to laugh every time they showed it, because it jumped from 100 to 110 and back again to 100. That shows it was broken or a cheap ass dezibel meter. You know, the scale is logarythmic, meaning that about 2 dezibel more is as much as twice as loud...110 dezibel = 2 x 108 db = 4 x 106 db = 8x 104 db = 16 x 102 db = 32 x 100db from one second to another and back again to 1x 100db.
And why can't they implement it into a graphic, rather opting to just film it?
They had a dezibel meter for the Sonics home games back in the '96 Finals vs. the Bulls and it didn't look better in 2013.
