Noise Monitoring and Reporting in Entertainment Venues

As the roar of the crowd returns to stadiums nationwide, Larson Davis continues to be the trusted source of accurate, real-time sound level monitoring across sports and entertainment venues. Though fans are cheering louder than ever, it’s all in a day’s work for our sound measurement tools.

Larson Davis played a part in the historical moments when our meters recorded 137.5 dB at Arrowhead Stadium in 2013 and again in 2014 when the Kansas City Chiefs reclaimed the Guinness World Record for loudest stadium with an astonishing 142.2 dB. These moments highlighted how real-time sound monitoring can boost team performance and fan engagement.

Larson Davis has decades of experience delivering dependable noise measurement solutions for a variety of applications, from environmental assessments to world-class live events. Our meters aren't just behind the scenes at major football stadiums, they’ve also captured the energy of massive music festivals, including Coachella and SnowGlobe, an EDM festival in South Lake Tahoe, where sound monitoring is a must for community compliance.

For live events, having reliable, easy to understand noise data available via an accessible platform is key. Some systems rely on a wireless connection, which can become unstable in crowded venues. That’s why Larson Davis solutions can be configured with a wired LAN connection. We also offer several ways to display real-time data, from a simple web-based cloud solution to software designed for concert venues to custom user-generated interfaces. Our team can help guide you to the solution that fits your needs.

Whether it’s a packed stadium on game day or a late-night music set under the stars, event organizers rely on Larson Davis' accurate and rugged equipment to measure sound levels with confidence. Built with trusted PCB® microphones and designed to handle high decibel environments, our systems have proven themselves wherever accurate noise measurement is critical.
