I guess since it starts at -80 I was expecting it to be decently loud at -60...

Remember, perceived volume doubles every 10dB. So if it is at well nigh zero at -80dB then -70dB will be twice as loud as well nigh zero, which would be very very quiet, -60dB very quiet, -50dB quiet... If -30dB is normal -20 would be loud and -10 intolerable.

Kinda like compound interest!
