Processing the crime scene doesn't necessarily mean that it happened AT the crime scene though. Typically, the forensic team comes in and takes samples, photographs and other evidence and take it back to a lab. What possible reason would that need to take place on location?
If you read the final report, it clearly says it took 7 days to process the interior and exterior of the school crime scene.
The report says it took 7 days to process the crime scene. I find it very strange that they would let in cleaning and moving crews while they were processing the crime scene.
Oh for Pete's sake. I can't believe how dumb some people can be.
Without spelling it out in graphic detail, why would anyone *not* want the crime scene cleaned???
JenniferL and other conspiracy theorists: again, I am curious as to WHY some people need to see a conspiracy behind this horrendous event? What, exactly, do they think happened, and more importantly, WHY -- WHY would such an event be made up? No one ever seems to have an answer to those questions. (Third time I've asked IN THIS THREAD, but the conspiracy theorists have ignored my posts.)
The conspiracy that you seem to think happened would have taken the cooperation of hundreds if not thousands of individuals, all keeping some "secret of Newtown." (Sounds like a bad movie on the sci-fi channel.) It boggles the mind that anyone with a working brain could believe such a thing.

Interesting point - they were actually in the building for months afterwards. Probably recreating every inch that the shooter moved per millisecond (or something high-tech like that). To have a preserved crime scene of a mass murder to study must have been of great value to investigators. At the very least, it has educational value and may lead to better/safer schools. Maybe they could study the building acoustics of gunshots and answer the OP's question about what the survivors heard.
I can understand why they would want to learn as much about the crime scene and the events that happened that day. I do not understand why doing that in a cleaned environment is mandatory, though.
Conspiracy theorists can't even make up their collective minds on whether Sandy Hook was real or not. Some outright deny that anybody died that day, while others believe that the tragedy did occur, but was perpetrated by people within our own government as some act of propaganda to further a specific agenda. Short of seeing kids being shot up with their own eyes purely for entertainment purposes, some will never believe it. What is this obsession with needing to see murder being committed in order to believe it happened?

Psychologically speaking, the human mind is very adept at repressing and blocking out traumatic events. Anyone that has ever worked with trauma survivors knows this is a well documented fact. Other the most depraved among us would want to see dead children lying in a pool of blood. And, for those first responders that do see that kind of thing - they would love to be able to just soon forget it.
I think everyone should actually learn what 'cleaning a crime scene' means before reading into it too much and making assumptions. Here's a hint: it's not what you see on TV.
If I saw shadows in everything I found 'strange,' rather than just admit to not understanding at the moment, I'd drive myself insane. Hmmmmm.
