I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume?

I suppose this is an open question to any of you fine people, but I'm exclusively analog myself and particularly curious to hear from those of you who listen to records.

What would you say is your normal listening volume? Perhaps measure it and post the db's?

Thanks!

Average dB readings, some peaks may be higher

Early morning before wife gets up 50-55 dBC

Normal listening ~70-75 dBC

Very infrequently when I try to revisit my youth 80 dBC

...enjoy the music and the search.jays audio review of the magico q7 don't wake up until 80 pluss db 

Yet Robert Harley says these driven with the Lamm 18 watt set's "was nothing short of magical in its reproduction of timbre, space, low-level detail, and other qualities that greatly contributed to the overall sense of realism"

I can guarantee I will never be in the market for 750 lb speakers. And if I want to feel my house shake when I listen to music I will just buy a house near the train tracks.
