5 Loudest Sports Stadiums In The World

4. Sacramento Kings (Sleep Train Arena)

Playing in the NBA, the Sacramento kings are one of the lesser known franchises amongst those unfamiliar with the sport of basketball. They're not the most successful of all the NBA franchises and quite frankly, they are in the midst of a really bad season at the minute. As the only team in this countdown who play in an arena it could be argued that the closed environment contributed to the overall noise when they set their Guinness world record. In fact, there are two separate records for loudest sports stadiums in order to separate the indoor and outdoor venues. Sleep Train Arena was the venue for the record in November 2013 when during a game against the Detroit Pistons, the Kings fans reached an impressive 126 Decibels. They surpassed the previous record of 106 decibels three times during the match, once during a time- out in the first quarter, then again at half- time and their final and greatest attempt in the fourth quarter now holds the world record.
