Crowd noise may soon be the only sound at some NBA games.

Commissioner David Stern, responding to a question posed during an ESPN online chat, said he's no fan of teams blaring music or sound effects while the game is being played.

"We're trying to find a few games to experiment with for teams to give us a 'silent night' so to speak,"

Silent night, .

I actually have to agree with him for once, because the music would annoy the hell out of me during games. No other sports play music during the games (well, I don't know if hockey does but who cares anyway).

MLB does.

At least for Braves games, they play a personalized song before each hitter's AB. And there is a sound effect for everything. I kind of like the sound effects, though. Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun CHARGE!
