How loud are you typically listening?


Typically 75 to 80dB.  Really loud is 90dB and I'm never over, and I mean never, 95dB.  I'm using a professional SPL meter, C weighted, slow response.  Just curious.

Depends on what genre of music. Acoustic guitar 65 to 70. Jazz 70ish. Steely Dan 75 to 85. AC/DC 90+. 

I try to keep it under 80 db on average to avoid hearing loss. 
Pretty rare for me to really blast it.

I have two sets of speakers.  Klipsch Heresy IIs and Paradigm Studio 70s, A/B to same integrated amp.

I would guess usually less than 80 dB 98% of the time.

If we are moving around the first floor doing stuff outside the  living room or TV room, I might crank it up a bit more. 
65 to 75 dB is considered normal to high level for me.  I do find myself listening more often now at mid 50's dB.

I have tinnitus for about 15 years.   It stays constant most of time, but it does flare up from time to time.   It was very scary in the early years during flare ups, but they all eventually came back down to normal level.    Nowadays I have faith that it will eventually go back down.

Thanks for the Niosh app heads up.  I just put it on my iphone and with no calibration turned it on.  My music room ambient level is 18.5 db(A).
I know the room is very quiet (tons of sound proofing) but I didn't expect it to be that quiet.  At that low a level just a slight burble in my stomach made it jump up to ~26 db(A).  The new iphones are certainly sensitive,
who knows about the accuracy though. 

OP,
Listened to Santana Abraxsas: "Singing Beasts, Crying Winds" and then into "Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen" and played at my normal loud level for rock and the app showed mostly bouncing in the high 70s and peaked at nearly 90.  Seemed about right.

I never checked the sound pressure level before — just set volume at comfortable level.  I just downloaded a SPL app to check it.  My ambient room noise level is around 17dB.

I am a quieter listener unless I am using headphones.  At night, I listen around 25-30 dB . . there is a local oldies station that I enjoy.  At mid-day now, I prefer 50-60 dB, with some peaks up to 70 dB.   75 dB and higher is too loud for me unless I am in another room or having a party.   I don’t know how people manage 90 dB for any length of time — sounds offensive to me.  My usual listening position is about 12 feet away from the main speakers.

At a cinema, I often think the sound is too loud, especially the music.  Would prefer to hear actors’ speech without all the loud music.
