I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume?


I suppose this is an open question to any of you fine people, but I'm exclusively analog myself and particularly curious to hear from those of you who listen to records.

What would you say is your normal listening volume? Perhaps measure it and post the db's?

Thanks!

depending on recording  but I tend to listen to between 55 and 85 db. mostly it seam like 65-76 db is a sweet spot where albums sound the best ,

 

I am using the Decibel X app weighted in A.  They offer other weightings, including C, but you need to purchase the premium version. I am only using it to verify sound levels when comparing components with different output voltages so the free version is good enough for me.

The last time I measured I was hitting peaks at 119 dbc at slightly under 9' away. Most of my records are not excessively compressed so I will guess that the average continuous level is closer to 110 to 112 dbc.
