I won't comment on what may or may not be Too loud
But I will remind readers that db is a measure sound energy
The ability of the sound to produce a specific amount of electrical energy pulse in a specified calibrated transducer,
And a 3db increase measured on the sound meter is double the amount energy produced by the transducer impacted by/reacting to the sound
Perception of sound via the human ear and mind, is an entirely different thing
That's why it takes a 10db increase ( over 8 times the amount of induced electrical signal ) for the average person to say that a any sound is perceived as being twice as loud as some previous Volume of sound.
A sound meter reading is a calibrated measured energy reading,
Not an annoying noise perceive by the human ear whose sensitivity varies with the individual
I do not like db logarithmic scales for empirical data, but it does allow for too weak, ok, good, too much
To all be on the same analog meter scale movement face, and not have to switch scales for different volumes of sound,
There were no digital measuring devices when the Bureau of standards was tasked with defining these measurements, as way to implement safety standard's in industrial work places
And sounds above certain level can be painful and cause hearing loss, a standard for measuring was needed, end was devised and created, and did not become public discussion, until a group of people started complaining about generators in campgrounds, before "us , we campers and RV travelers"
It was mainly noisy construction , noisy traffic, or living to close too an airport, generators in RVs arrived before noisy rock concerts at the local Stadium.
I can explain it to you.
But I Can Not understand it for you !
