What wall of noise? And promised by whom?

Interesting perspectives on "Noise" in this thread.
I normally sit in Upper West G, so I am nearer the North Stand. I can hear them, and when we sing, we sound loud .
For the Chelsea game, I sat in the Lower West but just past the half-way line nearer the South. All I could hear for the first half was Chelsea and nothing from the North. There was never going to be any singing from the Lower West, even though some Upper West people must have been sat there. One of my friends, who usually sits in the Lower West confirmed it was a normal atmosphere for the Lower West.
After the game, I mentioned the noise difference to a couple of members on our coach who had sat in the North Stand. They replied that it was very noisy in the North and they couldn't hear the Chelsea fans. They are retired cops in ther 60s, so I have no reason to doubt them.
It's all relative. I remember the same problem at Portman Road last season. We couldn't hear their fans and vice versa. It's down to the acoustics of the particular stand.

Tongue in cheek comment really but the were a few posters before last season saying how the WSU will generate this wall of sound

To be fair it was like a cup game in the NS, very few were in their normal seats and plenty of day trippers, it was never going to be a league atmosphere for that game, much closer to a Gillingham/Sunderland cup game one

Oooooohhhh. Well if you could all just keep it down that would be pleasant.

Sound doesn't work like that. Two people aren't twice as loud as one person, more like 2% louder.

Prog off!
Think the presence of the away fans in the SE will make the South plus south end of the WSU noisier- for this year at least- the North is half the capacity of the south till the corners get filled.

Last season four of us were in the West Lower corner right next to the away end.We had a great time almost every match goading the opposition fans (all done in the best possible taste) I loved waving twenty quid notes in the air when Portsmouth started singing play up pompey! The stewards would spend most of the matches staring at us - haha! I will definately miss all the banter this year. In East Upper - near north one row from the front this season - the six of us are very noisey and aim to get a few to lose their inhibitions ('Harvey's' helps) and get fecking singing!

The best thing about cake is you can have it and eat it too.
One thing that's not taken into consideration is the age factor. You only need to walk from the bottom to the top of the WSU to see there are a big percentage of fans over the age of 50. There are people that don't even chant ALBION which is our basic chant and doesn't take a lot of doing really. The two people that sit next to me didn't utter a word last throughout the whole of last season, so its an uphill struggle with some of the crowd.

I'm a north stander, when Chelsea did sing they sounded louder than I've ever heard Brighton fans sing in WSU.

I'm quite a shy fellow, but if you and your mates buy me enough Harveys I promise I'll sing my heart out. 7 or 8 should do the trick, cheers!

And it's all gone quiet..
This, it's something like 10 people are twice as loud as 1 person.
