No one watching on tv mistakes music between whistles for a lively crowd. Most, if not all, of the tv crowd noise as perceived by viewers is gonna come during the play when there is no music. Or maybe right after a whistle (due to fight, goal, save etc). Music is played during stoppages and almost every single stoppage has an ad, promo or info dump on the TV broadcast, even when they don’t go to commercial. No one is listening to the crowd during these times.
If anything, the deafening music prevents people from cheering because it is drowned out. It also prevents people watching on tv from hearing any of the cheering.
I guess maybe if you give your entire audience hearing loss the building might seem louder because then everyone will be shouting since they’re deaf and have to yell to communicate.
