When you hear a song you like and you want to turn up the volume, is there a special quality that promotes it?

And by loud I mean really loud listening, not making a sausage of a recording!

It's not loud enough.

So do I, I also have a few ideas what makes ME turn up the volume.
-Really good thick stereo, not nasally sounding stereo.
-A big bass that makes my ears shimmer but doesn't drown out the music

I turn up because I'm trying to overpower the tinnitus

Which can help sometimes, but usually isn't beneficial, be careful!

I guess there are just those times when you want to feel the sound physically rather than just as a form of mental entertainment or emotional stimulation. To be enveloped entirely by sound, to the exclusion of all else.

During the DnB craze in the late 90s chilling in the bass bins was a thing. You could just lean against them if they were small be every once in a while someone had some of those giant horn loaded bins that you could actually sit in.

For house, it's all about getting punched in the chest with the 12 or 15 inch driver mid bass energy.

When it's a totally rocking guitar solo...like in this song.

I turn up the volume when I need to hear something. Either that or use some compression.

When a song is mastered really well I want to turn it up. When there was too much limiting applied it usually makes me want to turn it down.

My special quality: I'm not selfish. I think about the aural pleasure of my neighbours too.

I hate loud music. I like nature.

What makes YOU want to turn up the volume?
