Why does the چنان ... که (so... that) structure in this sentence use the indicative verb می‌شوند instead of the subjunctive?

The structure چنان ... که can take either the indicative or the subjunctive depending on the meaning. Here, we use the indicative (می‌شوند) because the result (people becoming frustrated) is an actual, factual consequence that is currently happening. If the result were hypothetical (e.g., "so loud that people might get frustrated"), you would use the subjunctive.

This sentence uses که twice. Is that grammatically correct, or just conversational?

It is perfectly correct and necessary here. The first که connects the opening phrase به نظر می‌رسد (it seems) to the main clause ("that the hubbub..."). The second که pairs with چنان to form the correlative conjunction چنان ... که ("so ... that"). Farsi uses که extensively to link clauses, and seeing multiple instances in a complex sentence is very common at this level.

The word for "deafening" is سرسام‌آور. What are the parts of this compound word?

It is made of two parts: سرسام (delirium, dizziness, or a severe headache) and آور (the present stem of آوردن, meaning "to bring"). So, سرسام‌آور literally translates to "delirium-bringing" or "headache-inducing," which perfectly describes a deafening, overwhelming noise!
