Re: Loudness In Churches.
Do you know the difference in a "Hymn" and a modern "Praise and Worship" song? Heard this from a Christian comedian! Thought you might like it... or not!
The old country farmer said it like this....
"The cows .... are ...... in the corn!" — Now that's a Hymn!
Now this is a modern day praise song.....
"The cows, the cows, the cows, all of the cows, everyone of the cows are in the corn, the corn, the corn, the corn...... did you hear me the corn! All, all, all, all, all of the cows, the cows, the cows, the cows, are in the corn, the corn, the corn, the corn! Yes, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, in the corn!"
"The cows, the cows, the cows, all of the cows, everyone of the cows are in the corn, the corn, the corn, the corn...... did you hear me the corn! All, all, all, all, all of the cows, the cows, the cows, the cows, are in the corn, the corn, the corn, the corn! Yes, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, in the corn!"
"The cows, the cows, the cows, all of the cows, everyone of the cows are in the corn, the corn, the corn, the corn...... did you hear me the corn! All, all, all, all, all of the cows, the cows, the cows, the cows, are in the corn, the corn, the corn, the corn! Yes, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, in the corn!"
"The cows, the cows, the cows, all of the cows, everyone of the cows are in the corn, the corn, the corn, the corn...... did you hear me the corn! All, all, all, all, all of the cows, the cows, the cows, the cows, are in the corn, the corn, the corn, the corn! Yes, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, in the corn!"
Hey, hey, I didn't say not.... the old farmer said it!

I would say that the type of song you are speaking of is more common in churches holding onto what was "modern worship" 10-20 years ago.
What is considered modern worship today has left most of that far behind.

Re: Loudness In Churches.
Some folks are drier than last year's corn shucks and love dead church. It requires nothing out of them. But you let them go to a sporting event they get enthused about what they love. Just saying........................

Not for me. I'm not a die-hard sports fan. So, I suppose for those who are, perhaps that's where the need to keep it on the radar comes in...
Even still, the comparison of church atmosphere and sporting event is the same as beating a dead horse...
Nevertheless, some "have arrived" and are walking the plateau of perfection, while others are waiting to arrive, still walking uphill...

I understand folks enjoy what they love. I never have been to Titans game but I never miss a church service. 
It was at church:
I heard about Jesus and the Cross
I repented of my sins
I was baptized in that wonderful precious Name and my sins were remitted
I recieved the glorious gift of the Holy Ghost
I have been healed body-soul-spirit over and over again
I have been blessed-helped-encouraged-corrected.
Just a few things that has never happened to anyone at a Titans game.

But Jesus is the BEST thing that ever happened to me.
