Artificial crowd noise available to UK viewers after use in Bundesliga
Last updated on .From the section Football

When the Premier League returns on 17 June, television viewers will have the option to switch on artificial crowd noise during matches.
With games being played behind closed doors because of coronavirus, clubs, leagues and broadcasters are seeking the best way to showcase matches and mitigate the loss of spectators from stadiums.
In South Korea's K League, crowd sounds were played over stadium loudspeakers when its season started last month.
On Saturday UK viewers of BT Sport's Bundesliga coverage could hear artificial crowd noise as they watched matches featuring Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.
How it works is quite clever - an "audio carpet" for the basic noise is taken from the previous meeting and it is mixed with the real noise of the game. Reaction samples for scenarios such as penalties, fouls and decisions from VAR are created and "inserted" by a watching producer.
Sky Sports and BT Sport will both use the artificial crowd noise when the Premier League returns, with viewers also being given the option of switching it off.
But does it improve the viewing experience?

Might put their players of a bit tho, they’re not used to such noise at home.

"According to scientists they fear a second wave...that will wreck this season for good."
Scenes like we have seen today with 1000's of people being grouped together on the streets of Manchester and London as well as many other places it is probably becoming increasingly likely that a large spike or 2nd wave will occur.
Not sure what noise they will play in the Emptyhad though considering with fans it's like a library 🤔
