What is the dB reading on this, is it too loud?

Anything higher than 3inch diameter will be loud like a truck but not like a diesel truck

With the "silencer" on its not unbearable. With it removed its LOUD AS HELL. Not even kidding. There are a decent amount of videos on youtube you can check out as well

If you pre-amp it you could hurt it. This is not designed for super high volume just nice normal levels.

No. I'm running a 700 mono block and it's not even turned up all the way. It's super loud. It's a great speaker. The box is nice. I want to run max but don't wanna buy a new amp.

sounds like fully distorted 1 watt, sound, or about 60-75 dB A level with soundmeter about 1 meter away.. it is loud enough for small group...in a room. you can reduce level of built in distortion, by going lower in vol.

I played 'Bell Bottom Blues' from Derek and the Dominos at full volume. The quietest passages were averaging 55 dB and the louder ones 80 dB. Measured from 30 cm or 1 foot from the XBOOM using an iPad Air for a source. I can't speak to if this will work in your situation.

Tested in my garage using dB meter set on "C" scale (32-10,000Hz) - 87dB at 1 foot away and 78dB at 4 feet away - this is very quiet.

On # 1 I believe the volume is up to loud. can't tell you on #2, I never use the read button, sorry. I have 4 of them for the family and we have no problems.

Mine is about as loud as the beep from our microwave oven. The description on the Amazon page sez 90 to 105 DB,maybe you could google that for a reference.

This isn't the tool you want for just measuring volume. Get a Radio Shack Db meter for that.

To elaborate on my previous post, and to answer the question, it sounds fine at low volume if you're looking for clean sounds. I needed a louder amp which is why I chose this model. Best thing to do is find one locally and take it for a test drive.

The one I received says 45db in the manual. I have not tested that with a meter to see if it's accurate.

I have not measured the volume in dB, However it is much quieter than the case fans and CPU fans. I currently have it in my workshop in an open air environment, so I never hear the thing. The fan is 140mm I believe, and is controlled by temperature. The intelligent fan control keeps fan noise to a minimum below 45C. Which it never reached, even while mining in the summer. Regardless, it will be a very quiet unit for most applications. Look for the review at Johnny Guru for more info. -buzznut

Boomy. I keep it turned down to minimum and it still rattles some things in the living room. I guess depends on the sound card as well...

JWW's answer applies imo but I'm disappointed with the actual db to begin with. I wanted LOUD, and I believe I'll have to do air-power to impress deer, elk, peeeps, etc.

Well, I suppose I could give you a dB reading from a meter...but my feeling is that it is not quiet. It depends on how well you have it mounted and isolated; it is very powerful and will shake the studs/wall if not well mounted. Mine is mounted into an attic access panel right now and in the furthest room from our family room and bedroom...it is no problem to watch TV or sleep...I mean very little noise in that scenario. This is a powerful fan so I would consider that when mounting...it is also really a whole house fan and should be put in an area where it is not right of you whn it is operating to exchange air.

I like the Pyle. It's perfect for me as I DJ at various venues and they are sticklers for DB readings. I would recommend this sound level meter. This one holds steady. If you are trying to use it to master or calibrate the level, might be better to do it in the studio on the boards and re-master session. Or, if you are holding it while you are listening to the sounds, it will give you a reading on what it hears. Can't decipher tones and if you are trying to listen to one deck vs. another. I hope this helps??
