As a Saints fan though, you probably shouldn't worry that much. They will have schemed around the noise for the most part. Most teams figure that out. There will be struggles for the Saints when things get weird, like if they are trying to hurry up a play worrying about a challenge, or the play clock gets messed up due to a reff'ing error.

The biggest disadvantage will be for the Offensive Tackles, it always is because they have to look in at the ball instead of hearing the snap count. They lose a half-step due to that, especially on pass plays when Seattle puts in the "NASCAR" formation. Which is basically the front 6 or 7 is D-Ends and linebackers with no D Tackles.

What mostly hurt us in the first game was the crowd noise. Success of offenses or defenses does not hinge on how you line up when coming out of the huddle. It depends on how you adjust to what you see from the break of the huddle until the snap of the ball. Drew had a difficult time conveying audibles and play changes pre-snap. Drew had a delay of game because of it.
