What is the sound level of Your Listening Room?

Most of the music will be above the noise floor, so yes, in that regard you are right. You will not hear the fridge, air conditioner, etc….BUT, there will be passages that fall below the noise of those item and it will be masked. I want to hear all of the music with as much of the fine details as possible.

...high '20s' to mid '30's, but in town.  Traffic dies off at night.  Next to rails, so occasional 'loudnesses' beyond control....
...sounds of Industry, all that....*s*

No 'real close' neighbors, so dB is what I'd care to do.

Source: 'Live' calibrated into R/T eq display...

Space itself is....'tolerable'.....most 'noise floor' is just the sound of 'things'....Multiple 'puters, light racket....

MC, re 6/10 2:40pm......

Lets' see....sensorydep, exposure to musics in an padded cell, the only main furnishings is a highly exotic collection of 'devices' designed to make one 'hallucinate' the recorded record of an 'event'.....?

...explains a lot. ;)

WOW these rooms sound so cool but to you have system good enough for them?

With a relatatively isolated room under 35 Db you begin...

Money dont buy HiFi.... a working brain and acoustic laws and basic scientific facts can do....

It is easy to verify, listening very costly "unnatural sound" of many so called costly system....Compared to my 500 bucks one.... For sure they are better, but not as much as they think, this is why i am glad to own mine and dont want them at the price they paid...

The only criterium to judge a hi-fi system is the final ratio S.Q/ price....Not the price....And this S.Q. is based on acoustic concept: timbre, imaging, soundstage, source width ratio/ listener envelopment...

If not, it will be easy to boast about the price and not very useful to most....

I prefer to sell creativity at peanuts cost.... But many dont believe in simple acoustic experiments , they believe in price paid...


Then ANY "relatively good system" at a lower price than imagined is good enough.....Modulo electrical,mechanical and acoustic control....
