Some feedback.
Thank you for continuing with chant packs! Just tested Bayern vs Arsenal in a couple of FIFA14 matches and here are the findings:
I guess FIFA16 and FIFA14 have different default sound volumes, because in 14 with default audio settings it was really, really loud: silencing the commentators and the ref's whistle, sometimes I heard crackling in my left speaker, sometimes there was static noise (e.g. in bayern munchen (17) track).
Unfortunate thing is, despite FIFA14 having separate sliders for User Chants and User Music, they just don't work. The only way to reduce the custom chants volume is reducing the overall Crowd volume to 60%, which isn't the best solution because the base crowd reactions to fouls, goals etc get silenced by the custom chants respectively, but it works.
Speaking of volume, I remember @gonzaga started working on chants for 14 and wrote
I am no expert, but a quick glance at a Bayern chant by Nikola and a Real Madrid chant by Gonzaga, and the difference in thickness I guess shows the different 'base' chant layers for 16 and 14?
To sum up, I'd like to know what you guys think, is it feasible to release the packs in 16/14 volume levels, or is there a converter or a script that would batch reduce the volumes of selected mp3s by 40-50% and save them automatically?

One thing I would suggest you is - not to touch the volumes in the game setting. Leave them on max. I tried to adjust the decibels of each chant so they won't interfere the match commentator's voices nor the game sounds.
Wonder what his experience in that regard has been. I'm going to test his Spanish chants next, but if he adjusted the volumes to fit the default ingame sounds then the 60% level will be very low.If you are finding that all of your chants are too loud/soft, you can change this by adjusting volumes within the overall game settings.
