I don't know why people listen so loud... each time you have a loss of hearing then the ringing noise afterwards...it means you will never be able to listen to that certain frequency ever again...because the brain shuts it out...
Those stupid people who blast their music will regret it later...

I usually keep it around 35 but if my windows are down I play it at 45.

The engine doesn't really make any noise worth listening to until about 5k rpm.

If my windows are up, the volume is between 10-20. If the windows are down and I'm on the highway (which happens a lot), the volume is at 30-48.

Of course, these numbers can be skewed if you consider that in order to actually hear your iPod when it's connected, the volume has to be at least 25 or so.
