Kansas University has taken University of Kentucky’s recently claimed record title for the Loudest crowd roar at an indoor sports arena in emphatic style.
After a gripping game against West Virginia on Monday, fans in the stands set out to beat the UK Wildcats record of 126.4 decibels.

With a confirmed total of 130.4 decibels, belting Jayhawks fans achieved the booming new standard.
The attempt took place at the Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kansas (USA) where thousands of excited fans decked in blue gathered to break the record.
