Default RE: Db Testing

Curious that they specify 25 feet as distance for the sound level measurement. I could understand 23 feet, as it would then effectively equal the 7 meter separation that is frequently used in Europe.
The allowable levels are surprising, too. The 98 dBA @ 25 ft limit corrects to 107 dBA @ 9 ft where we usually measure at clubs. That is painfully LOUD, and can cause permanent hearing damage in short order. I wonder if there are any clubs that allow levels that high???

I don't think that there are many clubs that have any sound level restrictions unless imposed by local conditions or ordinances. If such are in existence they usually specify how it is to be measured.
