    Same here – it must be an even number for me.

    There’s just something about odd numbers. Ah that’s it – they’re odd…!

    Seriously, even numbers all the way for me.

    Prime numbers.

    1, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 27

    Mate wrote his car off because he was distracted by changing the volume to 16. (Hit kerb, flipped and rolled it)

    Slightly OT but my wife has the radio on in her car, at a volume just too quiet to hear properly. Drives me mad (pun intended).

    Yeah, that’s crossmaking. If you’re listening to the radio make it audible, if you’re not then turn it off completely. This ‘background noise’ setting is weird, we already have background noise.

    Generally when I do it, it’s because I want to listen to the radio but my passenger won’t shut up yapping.

    And you forgot 2. But we get the idea!

    Not volume, but the speed setting on the treadmill at the gym cannot be left with an odd decimal. 12.6 is ok, 12.5 makes me stumble. 😡

    so why do you increment on a linear scale then?

    Decrement. (And, yes…)

    Point of order Cougs.

    Decibels are a logarithmic scale, not a linear one, which I think was the point of this comment.

    Edit: ….which, having read this back again, you already knew right? As you were.

    Indeed. I didn’t build the bloody thing, I just twiddle the knob.

    I take it back.

    Having just spun the wheel (turtles get real) with no source audio present, the volume control goes from -80dB to +16dB so I have no clucking idea what it’s supposed to be representing. Around -24dB is a good clear listening volume that doesn’t shake books off shelves.

    My Technics amp goes from -76dB to 0dB – I’m sure there’s a very good reason for that of which I’m not aware of.
