This is my first year as a season ticket holder (seats in the 200 level, we bought two single seats 2 rows apart, the only thing we could get). It sounds like your perspective can change based on your location, but this I thought this game was effectively loud. Especially in the second half.
I am the only person in my row that is there every game. I get new neighbors every time (San Fran fans, Denver fans, fun drunk Canadians, but mostly Hawk fans) and the enthusiasm differs. I have found myself having to cheerlead for the section. “Get up twelve man! Make some noise 12thman!”, etc. People react to this realizing that they are not just there to watch/hear the 12th man, but THEY are the 12th man too.
My section was rocking last weekend. Only the San Fran and New Orleans games were louder.
