HearPeers Heroes Cara Mia Posted March 23, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Please, enlighten me If the different brands of audio systems use the same “units” for the adjustment of sound loudness or each manufacturer has the different approach to the sound volume control. For example, I would like to know if the volume level of 20 is the same for my comp, home or car audio systems, TV speaker , and so on when I listen to the same CD or it is completely different story for each device. Cannot find any info about standardization on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted March 23, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Mine appear to all be different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Ivana Marinac Posted March 23, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 I guess it is not - in my car I have volume "ladder" up to 40, on TV 20, iPhone 16 etc. I believe you do not have standard here.

HearPeers Heroes Cara Mia Posted March 23, 2016 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 the same, seems everything sounds different. Perhaps it make no sense to unify volume control features when there is no any possibility to unify the quality of sounding which also contributes to the sound perception.

Exactly - all devices are far from being equal.... I guess there is no easy way to test your personal acoustic. Cara Mia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesidae Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 For comparison of 'loudness' I use a sound meter app on my phone. This gives me a point of reference of how loud things are (tv, stereo, background noise etc). Cara Mia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How accurate are these programs and measuring over a mobile phone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesidae Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 I find the one I use to be very accurate (Sound meter - Android). It was a free app. It provides data as a number and a graph. It also provides a table with reference values (whisper, quiet park, normal conversation, phone ringtone, alarm clock, ...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Ivana Marinac Posted March 29, 2016 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 I use - Decibel Ultra - iOS/iPhone, looks little bit too smart for me, but I like having the excessive amount of data with which I do not know what to do...
