So, without being aware of it, I know that I don't know the real
loudness. Is it the same for everybody or just for people who have the
feeling to protect their ears, resp. to get out of this loudness hell?
A lot of people 'join' this hell. What's about those people?

That is because your ear shuts down with a bone bending to protect itself to

So you hearing goes into saturation for anything above that level. Which makes
it quite hard to determine "half as loud" when you don't know how loud it
really is...
Have fun,
Arnold I have gotten up and left many a night club
because the music was too
loud.
OT, but anyway: This is a big problem in Germany. I only visit night
clubs when a girlfriend 'force' me to do it and I always wear hearing
protection. Now it becomes topic again: At those high levels, I don't
have any feeling for what could be half as loud. I only have an idea of
'half as loud', when the acoustic pressure doesn't hurt.
