Manchester United Fans Created Loudest Noise in the Premier League This Weekend
Manchester United supporters sometimes get a hard time for creating a poor atmosphere at Old Trafford, but they screamed louder than anyone else in the Premier League this past weekend. ย
The Press Association decided to test the decibel levels at all 10 matches played in the English top flight on Saturday or Sunday, with United coming out on top.ย
As the Daily Mirror explains:ย
"In the interests of fairness, all samples were taken from kick-off to the 60-second mark, the highest recorded point has been used and, as no goals were scored in this period, the decibel levels can be considered to have been generated in similar circumstances.
"
Before United supporters start proclaiming themselves theย noisiest in the land, it is worth nothing that they had over 30,000 more fans at their game than anyone else, which likely explains the result.ย
The full result listing, as per Eurosport, was as follows:ย
"Manchester United v Crystal Palace (Attendance 75,325)
"
Decibel level (out of 120): 84
Southampton v Leicester (31,297)
Decibel level: 78
Sunderland v Everton (43,476)
Decibel Level: 78
Tottenham v Stoke (35,699)
Decibel Level: 78
West Brom v Newcastle (26,476)

Burnley v Hull (16,998)

West Ham v Aston Villa (34,857)

The test will be carried out again during the next set of Premier League games so that readings can be taken at all 20 Premier League grounds.
