Background noise destroying on LET golf coverage

Copperknob — Fri, 28 Nov 2025 10:54:47 GMT

Why is there always a background roar on coverage of women's golf, especially when it's the LET coverage? It's like every tournament is played right next to a motorway and there's loud traffic noise. It's a loud background roar that completely ruins the viewing experience. It's never there on the men's coverage so must why the difference? Surely it's the ambient sound mix that Sky are using that's wrong. It's makes it unwatchable with the commentary so we have to kill the sound any time we have it on. Come on Sky get it fixed!

@Copperknob If they even have a sound supervisor in charge of correctly setting up the audio feed levels and the point where any automatic gain control limiter is set, it is very clear that the present sound on this channel is being crucified by a totally incompetent operative. The continual ridiculous high gain on the majority of course sound effects is forever being automatically 'ducked' whenever a club strikes a ball or a commentator speaks. With many decades experience of controlling the sound on outside broadcasts, I would immediately remove the present sound supervisor and 'promote' them to a task better suited to their abilities.

The sound quality for the Ladies Spanish Open is appalling also. The noise of hospitality area, sounds like a school canteen, is very off putting, I turned the sound off. It's elementary stuff, we pay for and expect more 🤬
