over/because of the deafening music

Many young people are crazy about rock concerts. They go wild over the deafening music.
... because of the deafening music.

Hi,
Do both of above amount to each other? Thanks.

No. 'Because of' is quite odd here. 'Over' means 'in reference to, concerning, or about', and 'go wild over' is a fixed phrase.

They do not amount to each other. The first one means that the young people feel happy about the deafening music. The second sentence means that they have to go wild because of the deafening music.
