Celtic Fans Shatter Noise Records in Epic Champions League Victory
The electric atmosphere at Celtic Park reached unprecedented heights as Celtic fans shattered noise records during their team’s thrilling 3-1 Champions League victory over RB Leipzig. The decibel level reached an astonishing 129 decibels, earning Celtic fans the distinction of producing the second-highest noise level ever recorded in a European sports stadium.
Expert Analysis: The Dangers of Extreme Noise
According to hearing experts, prolonged exposure to such extreme noise levels can cause immediate and permanent damage to the human ear. “129 decibels is an extremely loud level of sound that can cause immediate and permanent damage to the human ear,” warned Dr. Emma Taylor, a leading audiologist. “It is equivalent to the sound of a jackhammer or a thunderclap.”
A Record-Breaking Performance
The current world record for noise level in a sports stadium is 142.2 decibels, achieved at Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium in 2014. The European record is 131 decibels, set by Galatasaray fans in an Istanbul derby against Fenerbahce in 2011. Celtic fans’ achievement is all the more impressive considering the stadium’s smaller capacity compared to other European venues.
