As I was watching the game with my girlfriend, I noticed that there was a point in the game where the crowd noise sounded a little wierd... almost like a skipping record. I remembered that people had always accused the Colts of pumping in noise, and after that, I absolutely agreed.
The announcers even starting making comments about how, for how loud the crowd was when the Patriot's were on offense, they knew how to get real quiet when the Colts had the ball.
In my mind, there is no doubt the Colts do this now, I've heard the evidence myself. And the difference between when one team had the ball and the other was too good to be true.
What I want to know is if whether this is illegal and whether the Cowboys do this. From the dead sounding crowd at some games, I would say not, but I guess anything is possible.

I heard it...I even rewinded it and played it again for my wife. She heard the samething. Def. noise being pumped in. The crowd actually got quite because Pats just got a 1st down, and the noise was just skipping.
Pretty funny, and I'm surprised that there hasn't been too much more said about it. Very obvious if you ask me.

This is awesome, if they take the Colts 1st rounder then no matter who we beat in the Superbowl, we'd still have the 31st pick.

Roger will probably make them give over their 1st round pick to the Pats next year. :laugh2:

the noise doesn't sound like what you would expect from a CD of crowd noise skipping.
that noise sounds like a diesel engine idling.
Maybe they do pipe noise into the stadium but thats not what I think that was.
And why would they even use a CD player anyway? Were talking 2007 here, everything is digital these days, if they have crowd noise to play, its probably hidden on some guys iPod.

It sounded almost like feedback or something.

Does it surprise you...watch when they pan around the crowd....it appears about half of them are over the age of 80.

It's all so convenient in light of Spygate, and the Patriots game for that matter... And Kraft so upset...
Are people this gullible that they buy the nonsense...
What I want to know is why is Randy Moss being played man-on-man with the CB giving him a 5+ yard cushion in the 4th on this very play, with the Pats down by 3....
And they are talking about 'crowd-noise'....

I imagine they probably amplify current stadium noise, or just save a sample of it during the game on the board rather than play artificial noise from an alternate source.
CBS TAKES BLAME FOR SOUND GLITCH
Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that CBS has taken responsibility for the bizarre sound glitch that has prompted speculation that the Colts were caught red-handed in the act of piping phony crowd noise into the RCA Dome.
Per Schefter, the vibrating sound as the Pats were driving at the start of the fourth quarter was the result of tape feedback in the CBS production truck. Schefter says that the sound could not be heard in the stadium.
We've spoken to some radio folks who also believe that the phenomenon was not the result of a glitch during the use of artificial crowd noise.
Oh well. Controversy is a lot juicier. But even when the truth isn't sexy, we've still got to respect it.

The Redskins always play crowd noise over the speakers. Even their own fans regularly comment on it.
The unofficial story is that sometimes the PA announcer's microphone sticks open and it's simply a background crowd noise that's being amplified. I'd call BS on that or the PA announcer's normal off-mike conversations would be regularly heard and they aren't. A more likely scenario is that the stadium is miked to pick up crowd noise which is then routed through the speakers.

I agree, I think it's more likely they record crowd noise and amplify it than having canned noise. It's probably easier to get rid of the proof that way too, they can just record over it before the game is over.

I heard it during the game yesterday and thought it was a CBS technical glitch.
Pretty sad if you ask me.

It was a CBS technical glitch! CBS admitted it was their fault.

However, New England quarterback Tom Brady (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/5228/) also commented on how loud it was in the Dome.
"I don't know how you measure levels of being deaf, but we couldn't hear anything out there," Brady said.
This is the latest in a string of incidents between the teams that have fueled the growing Colts-Pats rivalry. In the past, Colts general manager Bill Polian has vehemently argued that the Patriots have bent the rules in terms of use of replay challenges and the pass interference rule.

Nope. But even if it was, there's no tires, wheels, suspension, etc.. on my car. It's just a shell right now.

It's a very impressive, dynamic artificial crowd noise that skips. :D
