    To be fair it wasn't that loud, it's just that Where Is My Mind? by the Pixies is pretty dynamic by today's standards...

    I recorded the volume level next to my head while listening: https://i.imgur.com/jrq0G2Z.jpg
    80dBA on the loud parts, 83-87dBA peak. 104dB unweighted peak.

    I also tried both a 16bit quantization noise file without dither and one with shaped dither applied in the foobar ABX plugin, but I could tell both from digital silence.

    I even heard a difference between a 24bit -96dB white noise file and digital silence in a quick blind test. Anyway, back to listening to 16/44.1.

    It's almost worth buying a set of EARS to get a clear idea of listening levels.

    EARS aren't even a good idea for that. I'd just get a cheap SPL meter.
