Have suspicions that this high-decibel music thing is just a macho thing like how much chilli a real man can take. Except that chilli doesn't make anyone deaf.
I might be listening at little louder level (rms 79-82db spl or so), but not much different from @nishan99
Nevertheless I do believe increased amplitude swing range can make several things easier. It's like using a bigger screen maintaining pixel resolution.
Kinda skeptical about equal-loudness curve though. My experience says our brain anyhow adjusts it.
Yes! Long ago, a girlfriend asked my why I put salt in cooking, and I said it brought out the flavour. She told me "no: it makes it taste of salt." I stopped. She was right.
I think there's a physical reaction to loud music: kick in the chest bass. Doesn't really work with the volume way down.
Any and all speaker/amp/etc demo, listening sessions, the first thing I have always done is turn the volume down, because that is how I would listen to it. Don't like being blasted.
Live concerts, stupid stuff like throwing steel plates around, (and maybe measles!) still got to my hearing, though :(
As a grey muzzle with demonstrably damaged hearing, you rock out with your bad self at less than 80 DB. I no longer know what silence sounds like and certain notes are physically painful when played loudly during a movie (the ear ringing sound clip that Mssr. Bay so loves).
