Music volume? What about your sound level?


Just got a Rat Shack sound level meter and find it interesting.I think I listen to my music pretty loud, but wonder about others of us.

Average listening levels 78-82 db
When I turn it up 84-90 db

Wonder how this compares to you folks.

Bigjoe, no amount of care will save you if you really hit 120+ db spl. Think of "realistic levels" within the context of your room and try to limit the musical peaks (short loud passage) to a MAXIMUM of ~100db spl at yr listening position.
