Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods for monitoring compliance with sound volumes in auditoriums. The method includes setting a baseline sound measurement for an audio receiver located in an auditorium. The baseline sound measurement is based on a baseline sample signal broadcast over a baseline period from a sound system, and received by the audio receiver. A sound level standard is defined for content. A live sound measurement is determined over a sampling period of live content broadcast from the sound system. It is then determined if the live sound measurement complies with the sound level standard for content. Notification is provided for non-compliance with the sound level standard for content to a party sourcing the live content.
