How Loud?

[drstimpy]

This is the first on board stereo system I've had in 30+ riding years. At half volume with AVC medium, it seems really loud. It doesn't bother me but I don't want to be obnoxious.

How loud do you set yours?

I listen only through my helmet speakers.  I don't use the bike speakers while on the road.  I figure any sound that can be heard by by other vehicles is too loud.  I hate sitting in a car and hearing the vehicle next to me " boom, thumpa, thumpa, boom". And I don't think lt is just cause I'm older.  Really annoys my kids as well.

I have mine at 50% so at lights it's a little obnoxious  as I have earplugs in as well but I have not been told to turn it down yet!!!

My inter phone f4 Bluetooth On max is just not quite loud enough to enjoy. I find it great that on boring motorways I can listen through the speakers comfortably at 80mph but turn it right down in town for politeness. First bike I have listened to music on only trouble is 'bat out of hell'makes me ride like a teenager on his first sports bike

What settings do you all use for the AVC?
I ended up with medium.
I find that I never have the volume above half...anyone else?

I generally set the AVC to high that way I don't have to adjust the volume much when coming to a stop. I usually have the volume set about 25%-30%.

The AVC works very well.  I use my radio every morning and evening to/from work and when I get into town, I needn't change the volume at all.
