New volume standards for MP3 players

According to Reuters news article the European Commission has issued new volume standards for MP3 players on Monday this week. The new standards will require that MP3 players will play at a safe volume by default. There will also be a health warning so consumers who choose to override the default settings know the risks. Those new rules will require small technical changes to I-Pods and other MP3 devices. According to Yahoo news article “EU to set volume limits on MP3 players” new standards would see new players include a maximum sound level default at 80 decibels.

According to EU’s executive commission said the maximum sound levels of players now being sold range between 80 and 115 decibels with the supplied earphones. Using different earphones could add to those levels by up to 9 decibels. Above 120 decibels is equivalent to the level of noise generated by an airplane taking off.

    Hey I just wanted to let you know, I actually like the written material on your web site. But I am using Chromium on a machine running version 9.10 of Xubuntu and the UI aren’t quite satisfying. Not a strong deal, I can still essentially read the articles and search for information, but just wanted to inform you about that. The navigation bar is kind of challenging to apply with the config I’m running. Keep up the good work!

    Added a small amount of additional information to feed the MP3 encoding technology information on the fish, where sounds are to be done.
    Fraunhofer said that the system has been developed, it would be with other software and MP3 music player to work.

  25. tomi says:
