Thanks, I've looked at that post before, I'll have to remember to use it when I have trouble relating these levels to someoneFirst, set a listening level for playback of the loudest parts.
For my convenience, let's pretend it is as loud as someone shouting at you from one meter. Too loud, but, it circles back to something I wrote long ago.
Assuming a set of theoretically perfect listening conditions (that don't exist), the distance of a second shouter's shout reaching you at the level of the last little bit of 24 would be 10,425 miles away...
If "the last couple of bits" is of interest, move that shouter to 5,212 miles distant.

We've all seen the Sound Pressure Level decibel reference tables where you have "quiet room", "chainsaw", "jet engine" and so on. While that is handy for estimating increased loudness in decibles, it didn't help me when thinking about the measurement levels obtained around here when measuring...www.audiosciencereview.com
A lot of audio engineers feel they can hear it anyway, might not make a difference, but maybe it will give some pause...
