Speaking of loud. I remember back in the 80’s.. I lived in the ’hippie punk 20something part of town. On a Saturday someone was playing something rather loud (Enough so they are at least a block away, and I could hear the music)
So I decided to crank up MY music.. Opened the windows and turned up the Figaro aria of ’Barber of Seville’ to as high as it would go..
I naturally had to plug my own ears..
I can say the entire neighborhood heard that aria with no distortion.
(From my then Infinity RSIIa powered by a pair of Carver amps.)
Then the day a next door neighbor was annoying me.. I turned up the volume to 11 and started a rock record.. The first hard hits caused my building manager (who lived directly above me) to jump up from a nap while thinking a truck had hit the apartment building. (That related to me later on while we both laughed, we were all young)
Now I am old and do not want to disturb the neighbors at all. If I want loud I listen via headphones
