    How loud is your preference

    I was listening to music last night, the wife and kids were out, and I had it at an enjoyable level when I wondered, how loud in db's was it. I wipped out my sound meter and to my surprise it was right around the 95 db range from my couch. I thought holy $%@%, this could cause some hearing loss. At my work we get hearing tested every year and my 33 year old ears are still operating at full capacity, even after my boom systems in a couple of cars in my late teens and early twenties. Every now and then I will crank 1 song if I'm in that kind of mood. You know, where the sound just pounds on your body. So I metered the db's and were talking about 105 db's. Now I don't do that all the time but every now and then I will hear 1 song cranked, for instance, friday night after a couple of beers. Just wondering, how loud is your preference. No preaching to me now, like I said, I have proof that I do not have any hearing loss.......................what did you say?
