“Come on defense. Let’s go.” Somebody go to the game and shut this idiot up. I cannot tell if it a kid or a woman, but the person has the most annoying high-pitch voice. Fox must have a mic right next to this person. ---

I don’t think the FOX production team is monitoring this board. ---

We couldn’t help but noticing the shrill voice as well. Iritating, Yes Laughable, Also Yes Proved to be the makings of a great drinking game 😃 Go Pack! ---

I cannot tell if it a kid or a woman, but the person has the most annoying high-pitch voice. Fox must have a mic right next to this person. Sorry, that was me. Granted I was screaming it in my living room in New Jersey, but I guess I don’t know the strength of my own voice. And for your information, my voice is a silky sweet baritone not unlike Lou Rawls. ---

> [@El\_Kabong](#): > > I don’t think the FOX production team is monitoring this board. I was watching a game on NBC once where there was a similar issue. The audio mixer for Sunday Night Football actually posts on the AVS Forum board. An early report of something like that, especially if it’s in the rear surrounds, can sometimes get the problem fixed at halftime. ---

Yeah, that screeching was annoying as hell – but I overcame it by imagining it was that Saints fan “Fuck Da Eagles” girl. I couldn’t make out any actual words, so I don’t know if she was pro- or anti-Eagles, but I’m going to stick with what my imagination tells me. > [@Really\_Not\_All\_That\_Bright](#): > > Was it Joe Buck? My exact thought at the thread title. ---

As someone who once spent the longest nine innings of his life at an Astros game seated next to a woman who punctuated every single positive occurrence for the home team (base hits, walks, running to first base without falling down, catching popups etc.) with an ear-splitting “Whoooo-HOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”, I will point out that at home, you can turn the sound off and if you like, substitute radio play-by-play if you think you’re missing something.
