Say what?

43.1 Syed Rasel to Sarwan, 1 run, It should have been a run out! Rudi Koertzen didn't refer it upstairs. Pity. overpitched on the leg stump line, flicked to midwicket. Saqib swooped on the ball and fired in a direct hit. Sarwan is just short of the crease but there was not a huge appeal and Rudi didn't go upstairs. hmm..

After a couple of replays the commentators deliberated on whether anyone appealed for the run out at all. By the third replay, it was visible that Saqib had indeed appealed. The conversation then turned to the intensity of the appeal and that the Bangladeshi appeal was not intense enough.

For the record, Law 27 states

Law 27: Appeals. If the fielders believe a batsman is out, they may ask the umpire "How's That?", commonly shouted emphatically with arms raised, before the next ball is bowled. The umpire then decides whether the batsman is out.

Nowhere is it suggested that if the decibel level exceeds a certain level will the appeal be considered.

And then there is the small matter of "excessive appealing" - a Level 1 penalty that carries an official reprimand and/or a fine of up to the equivalent of 50% of the Player or Official’s match fee.
