    When I’m watching TV with friends I like to leave the volume at 9, 11, 17… numbers like that, and then act like they are the crazy ones if they get annoyed

        I used to be like that, but my current setup changes the volume by a lot with only one number. 7 ish if my gf is asleep, 10 otherwise. 12+ if there’s a lot of noise elsewhere. Was annoying at first, but now I don’t care, so I guess the curse has finally been lifted

        I only care if I can hear and I consider myself fairly normal. In the car, 9 is usually where I can hear my podcasts over the road noise. 8 and I miss words. 10, and it eventually gets unpleasant. On the TV, I don’t know: I run all the audio through a tuner and it’s hard to see the numbers from the couch. Besides, I think it measures in dB, which I don’t understand. For most shows, I think it’s somewhere in the -30s.

      My phone used to increment the sound by 2 notches per clicks and that pissed me off so much I couldn’t have the one in the middle 😭
