When I remember, I am going to be taking out a sound meter at work and measuring the dB's. I have only done this once so far since getting the meter, at a rehearsal for a pops concert. In this particular case, we had an unusual set-up, and I was actually behind most of the loudest instruments, so my meter only registered a peak of 104.99 dB. I was a little surprised it wasn't higher, it was basically a big band type of set-up. I think in our normal set-up, the same concert would have registered higher levels at my chair, as the louder instruments are usually closer to me (I am a horn player). I had another opportunity at another pops show yesterday, but forgot all about it.
How loud is loud, What DB is actually loud?
I like I should say love old school rock and hip/hop rap and funk all kinds of music. I found out my dads listening level is around 75DB which i find to be completley unsatisfying.
I was looking up Quad esl's and everyone says witha 85DB rating they wont go loud, but how loud is loud, How loud is rocking out?
