My SPL meter shows ambient/background noise of about 41.x dB. Is that average, hi or low?


Of course that Amazon X-Mass stocking-stuffer is little more than a toy, so who knows if it's calibrated accurately...

So what's the ambient level in your listening room/position?

My room is very quiet. 41dB is acceptable ambient noise if you've a window and outside activity.
I get 29.9dB A-weighed (LAF) with mute on in quiet basement with turntable running.
31dB inter-track vinyl groove noise.
89dB peak at normal listening level.
