<sorry, I hit the SEND button by mistake>

So how loud do *you* play?

I positioned my sound meter close to my ear and aimed it towards my bell
and then towards the wall that is 8 feet in front of me.

When I was playing comfortably, the maximum dBa ranged from the low 80's
to the high 90's.

....well, I guess I won't practice 12 hours/day anymore...!!!
