Could you please clarify for me, is 20 decibels (dB) considered to be a very loud noise level? I understand that decibels are a logarithmic scale used to measure sound intensity, but I'm unsure of how to interpret the specific number of 20 dB in terms of its perceived loudness. Is it comparable to the sound of a whisper, a normal conversation, or something louder? Thank you for your assistance in clarifying this matter.

Could you please clarify for me, is a 100 watt amplifier considered loud in terms of its output volume? I understand that wattage is a measure of power, but how does it translate to the loudness of the sound produced by the amplifier? Is there a direct correlation between the wattage and the loudness, or are there other factors that come into play? Additionally, what would be considered a loud amplifier in general, and how does a 100 watt amplifier compare to that standard?

I'm curious to know if 1000 watts is considered loud for speakers. I understand that wattage measures the power output of an audio system, but does a higher wattage necessarily mean louder sound? Is there a threshold beyond which the increase in wattage doesn't significantly impact the volume or is it more about the efficiency of the speakers themselves? I'm trying to balance my desire for powerful audio without overwhelming my space or causing potential damage to my hearing. Can you provide some insights into how wattage relates to speaker loudness and what factors I should consider when selecting speakers for my needs?
