Original Note:
The EU only mandates a warning at 85 decibels, allowing for users to go beyond that limit at their own discretion. The manufacturer chose to implement it in a stricter way. 85 decibels is considered the upper limit to avoid hearing damage by experts worldwide. https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/IP_09_1364 https://www.itu.int/en/ITU-T/Workshops-and-Seminars/safelistening/Documents/Standards_for_safe_listening_devices_situation_analysis_report.pdf
