Yep, it was ATL. And I do believe they lost a draft pick over it. For the 2020 season when there weren't going to fans, the NFL had also specified rules on piping noise for the games. They had a db level set and I think even determined what crowd noise would be played. There were concerns some teams would push it so the league threatened fines and lost draft picks if anyone exceeded what was allowed by the league.
