How many hours of music should you listen to per day?

How many hours of music should you listen to per day?

I'm sure that's as individual as our schedules and lives, but I turn music on first thing when I get up, and is pretty much always on when I am around the house.

It's probably not really a 'should' thing, and I'm sure it can vary widely even from day to day.

How much do you listen to music?

 

[kemmler3D]

In terms of hearing safety, according to the WHO, no more than 8 hours at 85dBA SPL average, but at 80dBA apparently you can safely listen for 25 hours a day, so I think that's a reasonable target.

When working from home, I have music on for most of the day, pausing for meetings and calls. While driving to job sites, I switch between audiobooks, podcasts, and music, though meetings and calls interrupt that as well.

I'm not sure there's an upper limit assuming you keep the volume down.

 

[coonmanx]

Zero. Music is evil.

 

[Titurel]

Only as many hours as you have time to really pay attention.

 

[Barrelhouse Solly]

I'm going with 25 hours minimum with 36 on weekends and holidays.

I totally agree with BDWoody. It is not like how much physical activity you should have per day or how many calories is the healthy daily intake.
It all depends on your time allotment. When I am driving, music is always on but at home, it may vary from zero to a few hours.

Should?

Radio goes on when I wake up, muted for work calls, off if I'm out for a walk or eating with the family.
TV takes over in the evening, rarely my choice but that's family life.
Occasionally an hour or so actually listening to something specific - the good stuff.
Weekends have more time for listening, but more family activities so the time rarely comes up in practice. Radio is on anyway.
I remember live music ... I'll get back to that eventually!

N+1 is usually the answer to such questions

How can I measure 80-85dba with REW?

 

[JeffS7444]

When I'm really listening to the music, 45-90 minutes is a lot. I don't do this every week or month, but when I do, I really enjoy it.

If you have a calibrated mic (UMIK-1 works) then it can show you the SPL, just play some music and look at the SPL Meter function in REW.

I will probably listen to one CD today. Possibly Hendrix.
