Well, this was analyzed too:Well I have only rarely measured 120dB+ peaks, but this completely ignores the point that the LOWEST level one ever needs to RECORD is NEVER 0dB.
The analysis here is much more complicated as you can't just use a SPL meter. You have to perform a spectrum analysis and convert the resulting noise measurements to equivalent tones as to then compare it to threshold of hearing (solid line). Once there, we see that the quietest performance rooms straddle threshold of hearing and at mid-frequencies where our hearing is the best, will go below even 0 dB.
