Undoubtedly, the Lynah crowd's loudest moment in my personal (admittedly
limited) memory was as the time expired at the end of the second game of a
two-game ECAC quarter-finals sweep against Harvard.  I have no doubt that
we topped 100 dB, but keep in mind that an airplane taking off - at close
range - is about 120 dB.  The scale is logarithmic, so 120 is twice as loud
as 110, which is twice as loud as 100.  I doubt that any hockey rinks have
ever gotten higher than 120, but it'd sure be fun to try.
