105 DB is loud! Are you sure your hearing is normal? Take a look at this! https://www.gcaudio.com/tips-tricks/decibel-loudness-comparison-chart/ |
I have tried a few phone apps to use, but heavily rely on my Radio Shack meter. A few good meters are available, starting at $20, going up to double, that I feel are superior to using the phone apps. My feeling is that the phones ( the built in mics, and the casing part, where the mic is on the phone ) are the weakness, as opposed to the apps. As yogiboy has said, 105 db is loud. I play my system, at times, when peaks hit 105 - 110 db, but these peaks are not constant, and the normal range is 20 db below that, at 85 to 90 db, which is still too loud for some people. I take my own hearing tests ( there are apps for that ), which are through headphones, and I visit my audiologist every birthday. There are many decibel graphs available, showing a wide range of user products, such as blenders, sink disposals, and much more. Enjoy ! MrD. |
Get a roll of duct tape and a friend. Hold one speaker up to each ear while the friend wraps them tight around your head. Use the whole roll. Any gaps bass will escape costing a few dB off the low end. Leave just enough space to breathe and suck a couple beers or dram of Scotch through a straw. Not quite concert ear damage but close. |
