After 2 years umpiring USA and USSSA girls fast pitch tourneys in Florida I am ready to wear ear plugs. Formerly from NJ with little to no music. In Florida it is out of control. I do limit noise and do stop it for plate conferences, etc. Thoughts?

Agreed about shutdown. I was once asked to lower noise by opposing team. I did that. Once had a defective machine. I made team shut off for balance of inning and, if not fixed, for balance of game. Lastly I always make sure that walk up music stops when batter puts first foot in box or sooner.
