Volume in Haas seems fine to me and doesn't seem different than other college basketball games I've been to

Different locations may also affect acoustics. I know it does in Memorial

Hard to optimize for every person and location

If it's too loud you might try moving to different locations to see if it's better for you

I thought the music was much too loud when the cheerleaders or dance team did a performance on the court (I think during the first game?) Maybe that volume would be ok if there was a full house of fans, but it was too loud in a fairly empty gym. I didn't notice very much lout piped in music overall during the first 2 games.

If this works for you, great. For me, I try and count every single person, every game. I found this to be a valuable distraction during the Wyking-and-Fox eras.

And you didn't have to count very high then.

At the women's game right now and can confirm that the music isn't abnormally loud.

I do wonder what kind of dialogue between the players on the court might be obscured from the music but otherwise it's not a big deal
