Fake Crowd Noise

[Glassman]

Is it supposed to help the players?

It's giving me a sodding headache. The mind sees an empty stadium yet there are crowd chants, oohs, aahs and clapping most of which is behind the play.

For once we have the perfect opportunity to hear what goes on on the pitch and its being drowned out by rent-a-crowd.

That's what happens when you let BMW near your PA system.

I switch to the other channel that does without it, although sometimes the picture quality falls apart.
Found it refreshing to hear the managers/coaches/players instead, and the embarrassing screams of Salah and the like when they go down having been shot by a tickle from someone’s boot lace.

The fake noise is for tv viewers, it's not broadcast at the ground

The majority of goalscorers seem to have high-pitched screams instead of a normal voice.

putting aside the thought that the sound is piped to the stadium, can't you turn off the fake noise using the red button. Maybe only some games on BT Sport but I'm sure you can.

There seemed to be an option to do this one the recent Amazon broadcasts but I couldn't get the audio options to turn the fake-crowd noise off.

Agree it's annoying, although, oddly; I'm don't find it as bad on the radio (I listen to many more games than watch on TV).

Most of the time you can switch but sometimes depending on who’s screening it,the pic quality doesn’t seem as good as if it’s not HD.

I assumed Spurts weren't the only ground to play crowd noise over their tannoy system.

Watching the Man United v Leeds game the other day I did think I've never heard so much crowd noise in Old Trafford.

I'm told that Arsenal were offered the chance to pipe crowd noise into the Emirates but they declined, saying they would rather have the usual noise levels instead.

Some grounds are actually piping noise in but it is annoying as the noise doesn’t sync properly with the goals so the defence end up being confused as whether it is a goal or not.

It's not just football that has the issue with that.

I was watching a T20 cricket game a few weeks ago with no fans in and heard an almighty cheer from the supporters, almost blew my ears out. Looked up to see what had happened and nothing of note had, the ball had just been hit gently back to the bowler. Obviously, someone had pressed the button for "Six outside of the ground" instead.

Made me LOL to be fair.

The darts is ridiculous as well at the Ally Pally. Some bloke comes on and dances to his intro in front of some bored engineer guys with headphones on ...
