An additional comment:

90 db. is the sound pressure level where the ear begins to hear at a
reasonably flat response. However, just a little bit louder(95 db.)
is the level where listening time must be restricted in order to
prevent hearing loss. I posted OSHA exposure standards previously
but if I recieve a few requests, I would be glad to post it again.

Keep in mind we are discussing AVERAGE sound pressure levels.
