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!

I do play the soundtrack with the dopler effect of the train comming closer and pitch change and leaving with pitch change.the advantage is I can play it when I want and the train doesn't wake me up at night.normal listening 50 to 80 db.i did go see the who in the 70's it was loud. I guess that's why we have a volumn know we can listen at the level we're in the mood for.enjoy the music and the search. 

In the mornings when the house is sleeping around 65db, my noise floor in the AM is 25db. 

In the afternoons, around 80db, noise floor around 30db. Between 80-90db is my critical listening volume. Also kind of my happy place. 

When getting into it, dance party mode, around 100db. Usually not in my listing spot for that. Every once in a while, want the house to shake, do 80% volume around 106db, have hit over 110db a couple of times. But it's painful to be in the listening room. But it sounds great outside.

...as a rule, I try to avoid going to 11 on the volume....
