Should, could, would, etc. The guys who run these things usually do one of two methods: Get a small group, and test them to death. Or, put a whole mess of people in in giant room, and expect everyone to hear the same thing. Gotta get the sample levels up! But, if all that you can do is argue DBT this and DBT that, then I am not wasting my time trying to 'splain to you what level is audible. You seem to have your mind made up that it isn't at any level. So, end of discussion.
