Hi, While there are standards for occupational sound levels they really don't apply to typical music listening. For me it depends on what I'm doing. It will vary from quiet background level while computing or reading to a moderate level when doing serious listening. If it is so loud that you can't talk (not shout) over it then IMO it is too loud. Not enjoyable. I value my ears too much to subject them to that and if it is at someone else's place and they won't reduce the level, I leave.

Good Listening
Bruce
