Colts Safety Cam Bynum Accuses Rams of Pumping Fake Crowd Noise at SoFi

Bynum’s podcast claim comes before Sunday’s matchup, with NFL rules allowing limited artificial noise and no inquiry publicly known.

Overview

  • Bynum said he and teammates heard noise from stadium speakers during third downs despite fans sitting quietly, calling the atmosphere a "celebrity show."
  • The NFL has permitted in-stadium artificial crowd noise since 2020 within set decibel limits, so any discipline would hinge on misuse or exceeding those thresholds.
  • No confirmation from the Rams or the league has been reported, and there has been no public indication of an NFL investigation.
  • Coverage noted a precedent from 2015, when the Falcons were fined and lost a draft pick after the league found improper artificial noise use.
  • Bynum, who played at SoFi with the Vikings last season, also criticized the field’s short, slippery turf as the Colts visit the Rams in Week 4.
