I was rather serious about noise control, both emanating from and entering the custom room I designed and built in my basement. Quietness was paramount. My measurements from three different phone apps:
Decibel Meter 30-32dB (I presume this is weighted differently)
Noise Meter 16.8-17.2dB
Sound Meter 17-18dB
Sound Meter compares the ambient noise in my room to a ticking watch.
That is acceptable to me. The sensation of entering the room is not unlike entering a vault at a bank. :)
