What's the quiescent ambient noise level in your listening room?

Reasonably low levels of ambient noise shouldn’t cause much of a problem  ,as it will likely blend into the soundscape in a natural way . On the other hand , a crying baby , a hissing tweeter or a talking wife will usually be found as a distracting and annoying form of ambient noise . I measure under 50 db 🤓

That’s excellent. The standard for recording control (mixing, playback) rooms is between NR-10 and 15 (26 and 30dB), with 45dB considered the absolute maximum.
