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’m usually around 90 db. Sometimes louder if it fits the recording. This is measured with an analog Radio Shack meter, C weighted.

Typically from mid 70's to mid 80's but have seen peaks to 96db. Depends on what I'm listening to. I do like it fairly loud. 

85-90 db C weighted at the listening position is a normal level. Depending on the song, it can go over 100 db (only for a song or so at a time).
