How can you measure how loud noise is when it is coming through earbuds? I'm afraid that even though the music isn't at full blast, it's too loud for my children. I want a way to measure it.
You can measure the loudness with a decibel meter. They're fairly inexpensive to acquire on Amazon. However, a quick trick is to hold the earbuds at arm's length with their music playing as usual. If you can still easily hear the music, then you know it's too loud for them.
I only use buds for softer music, podcasts, etc..... Since they are in my ear and that close to the drum, I don't want to damage anything and I don't want to totally drown out the outside noises.
Usually, there would be a warning that would pop on your screen when the volume is too loud. You can use that, in general, as the minimum level, then decrease the sound from that if you think it's still too much.
