How loud did Globe Life Field get after Adolis Garcia’s game-winning home run?
How loud is it inside Globe Life Field for the World Series?
The Star-Telegram was interested to find out. Here are some readings from moments at the game, recorded by staff writers Lawrence Dow and Harrison Mantas. They used the Decibel X app to measure the noise.
A few decibel comparisons: 20 (a ticking watch), 85 (city traffic, a noisy restaurant), 100 (roaring motorcycle), 135 (jet engine), 140 (gunshot).

▪ The national anthem clocked in at 106.9 and former President George Bush’s first pitch came in at 103.4 after Pudge Rodriguez amped the crowd up.
