Exactly.
Ever been to a basketball game? Same reason why they play rap beats when the home team has the ball so they can get a good rhythm and flow going. When the visiting team gets the ball it's all "DEFENSE! BOOM! BOOM! DEFENSE! BOOM! BOOM!" at full volume.
It throws the visitors off their rhythm and makes it harder for them to communicate.
Home court advantage baby.
