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? On Sat, 2010-07-24 at 10:07 -0400, Gene Heskett

That is because your ear shuts down with a bone bending to protect
itself to anything above. That bending is what hurts...
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.
