Was the Tennessee@Georgia game this year the loudest college football game ever recorded?

As reported by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution/Dawgnation website, CBS Sports recorded the UT@UGA game at over 135 decibles, which would rank it as the loudest college football game ever recorded (this game also set viewership records for CBS as the most watched college football game of the 2022 season at over 13.3 million viewers. It was also the most watched college football game on any network in 2022).
If so, this would rank it ahead of the previously loudest recorded college football game, which was the 1992 Nebraska Cornhuskers@Washington Huskies at Husky Stadium. That game was recorded at 133.6 decibles.
There are no official records of loudest stadiums kept; however, the Guinness World Records does have a category on file in which they list the loudest game ever recorded in the world at 142.2 decibles. This was in 2014 at Arrowhead Stadium when the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the New England Patiots (second-loudest recorded game of all time was at a Seattle Seahawks game in 2013 at 137.6 decibles).
Below is a ranking by One Country website of the 10 Loudest College Football Stadium up to the date of October/2016. I've not seen a ranking of such after this date. Therefore, it's quite possible that the Tennessee@Georgia game at Sanford Stadium may be the loudest college football game ever recorded.
Here's their 10 loudest stadiums and their highest ever recorded decible rating up to October/2016 (at least):
10. Michigan Stadium (Univ of Michigan) - 110 decibles
9. Neyland Stadium (Univ of Tennessee) - 114 decibles
8. Ben Hill Griffin Stadium (Univ of Florida) - 115 decibles
7. (Tie) Kyle Field (Texas A&M Univ) - 117 decibles; Razorback Stadium (Univ of Arkansas) - 117 decibles
5. Beaver Stadium (Penn State Univ) - 122 decibles
4. Autzen Stadium (Univ of Oregon) - 127 decibles
3. Tiger Stadium (LSU) - 130 decibles
2. Memorial Stadium ( Clemson Univ) - 132 decibles
1. Husky Stadium (Univ of Washington) - 133 decibles
NEW NUMBER 1???
Sanford Stadium (Univ of Georgia) - 135 decibles

ETA: Typical commercial jet engine decible rating is 160 decibles. The human ear drum RUPTURES at 150 decibles.

It was pretty loud. Was impressed with UGA's home crowd this season.

Why do you antagonize them? They are pretty much gone, just let them stay there.

My ears were still ringing that night.

I would assume every large sec stadium at one point in time has reached above 135 dec

Umm LSU has literally caused multiple earthquakes. Try again

Our football Twitter account posted this after the Alabama game. They also posted that the crowd noise triggered seismograph readings when Daniels scored a TD in OT and on the 2 point conversion. Hard to know how accurate these readings really are

I’m impressed with Autzen and Razorback stadiums given their capacities.

40-13. Wasn’t that impressed. Actually UT fans was louder than LSU fans.

Going back to the days when there were no 100,000 seat stadiums in the SEC, the Bear said : "playing in Tiger Stadium is like playing inside a drum".

Tiger stadium used to be much louder IMO. Not sure what happened, but it doesn't seem like one of the top 3 or 4 loudest stadiums in the SEC anymore.

It was loud on TV but it did not sound any louder than any other game.

I was at the game. My ears could not have stood it any louder. I’ve been to Neyland several times, including last year, and have been to Tiger Stadium (and many national cheerleading competitions). I was sitting next to a recent Tennessee grad and his wife who couldn’t believe how loud it was. Sanford Stadium on Nov. 5th, 2022 was the loudest place I’ve ever been.

Decibel levels ranging from 120 to 140 dB are very dangerous to human hearing and also painful

it's impossible to tell by listening to the TV broadcasts how loud a crowd actually is. How loud a crowd sounds on TV is wholly dependent upon where the mics are pointed and how much they have those mics turned up on the broadcast.

I guess the should be this year. Hard to consider Neyland a top tier atmosphere when it’s sounded like a fricking church for 15 years.
