I remember the goal horn being a lot louder on TV. not sure if its actually weaker in the United Center or if they changed where the microphones are at.
I really miss the blaring goal horn on TV. it really added to the excitement. i hope they can fix that someday

Was at the home opener…it is as loud as usual. Best horn in hockey!!!
The goal horn is no longer mounted under the scoreboard, which is probably the difference you hear. They moved it up into the rafters above the scoreboard when the new one got installed in 2019. It’s still as loud as ever in the building.
It’s just the mics. The old clip is from NBC, who had very active/more mics picking up sound.
