What numerical representation do you set your stereo to?

crwth

a number divisible by 2 or 5

Nogs

between 62 and 70

George Fornby Grill

A multiple of 5 or 10, always.

alt answer: 11.

Macro9

I have mutant hearing. It's currently set to the second notch. I have headphones on and a little fan on me.

lostwords

25 regularly. 13 when I'm watching porn

2 Marcus 2 Ravens

Has to be a multiple of 5. Just has to be.

My ex had to have it at an even number. I should have known better.

Hunter

exist

my TV is hooked up 2.1 computer speakers so there is no numerical representation

just a knob

it's set maybe at 90 degrees?

i don't like it when my number is divisible by 5

cadmunky

0, .25, .50, .75, 1.0

Donovan Puppyfucker

Used to be always on an even number.

Realised I was being stupid, and juuuust a little OCD, and stopped doing that.

Ubik

23 but 12 for the xbox and 35 if the fan's on

Theidar

37. Just loud enough to not wake up a sleeping baby on my TV.

George Fornby Grill

Keep my speakers on about 25-30%, and iTunes changes from either 50% or 100% depending on the time of day and who else is in the house.

iPod is never above 60% volume because I have some pretty good noise cancelling headphones. Usually at about 15% volume when I'm in bed.

Grey Ghost

Well, my TV volume is always set to 15 or 20, and left there, and then I move the volume on the cable box up or down. But that's just unnumbered notches so I don't really pay attention to that

mine doesn't have numbers

My TV goes to 100 (I think) but I've never gone above 40. Most of the time I just put it sub 20, unless it's a DVD, which will go up to maybe 25.

VisionOfClarity

With the top volume being 100: 20 normally, >10 when I'm going to bed and 50-60 when the AC window unit is on.

George Fornby Grill

DS is usually either all the way up or all the way down
PSP is usually above 60%, I'll only go to 100% if I'm not somewhere I'll be annoying people

Both conditions subject to change if headphones are involved.

Coinage

I used to be OCD about having it on a multiple of 2 or 5, but the iTunes/iPod sliding bar has fortunately cured me of that. I don't really pay attention to my overall computer volume.

L|ama

My TV doesn't have a number, only bars, and I use the keyboard controls to set volume on the computer so I don't see the number. This is good, otherwise I would probably be pretty bad about it needing to be 2x or 5x

L|ama

oh and -10dB on foobar

satansfingers

i've come to realize that i have weird issues with loud volume

i'm constantly cranking my tv up to hear voices and then dropping it way down when music/ambient noises come in

I do exactly this. I don't have poor hearing, but damn if most shows/movies have shit terrible mixing.

L|ama

yeah they generally have really fucking shit mixing with that, it's really annoying


same with loud ads. They just hurt their case because I sometimes note who it is, think "fuck you" and then mute it until whatever starts again

Theidar

Also my newer TV is set to 14 for about the same volume.

Kevin Crist

around 11-13 on the TV, 10-13 with Radio, but for some reason my clock radio/CD player combo plays CDs quieter so I bump it up to 19-20 then.

Platy

Advertising agencies and marketing executives usually think that louder ads will stand out more. Here in Germany, it's become pretty bad.

thanimations

I'm not anal enough to need my volume set by 2x or 5x, but I'm absolutely paranoid of losing my hearing. I have volume 'limits' on everything I listen to, and force myself to stay in certain parameters. Like in my car, I stay at 5 when driving city streets, 6 if it's a particularly quiet song or on the highway, and a 4 when idling. I'm not even sure how loud my car's stereo system goes.

Big Red Tie

13 on the tv
6 on my computer
3-6 on my ipod

Donovan Puppyfucker

I was recently given my parents old stereo system. It's an old TEAC (JC75 mkII), cost about $1200 when they bought it at least 15 years ago.

The volume knob has demarcations up to 10, I personally have never turned it past 4. At that level my ears started to overload being in the same room as it, and my vision was beginning to blur...

Fishman

Loud enough to hear comfortably and clearly over the ambient noise level of the room I am in and the source of the feed I am listening to. On the TV this varies between about 7 at the low end (when it's late at night, not raining, while set to XBox) to around 34 (during the day, watching DVDs through the HTPC).

The stereo hits about 9 at the low end and I try to encourage my wife to limit herself to 20 at the upper end, as its max is 40, but this edict is not always followed, even by me.

MichaelLC

14-18 for TV
Usually maxed at 35 on car radio for podcasts. Crazy Koreans, making it 35.
