People who set the volume at odd numbers that aren't multiples of 5. What's wrong with them? They need locking up.

My daughter set the TV volume to 7 so I disowned her immediately. 

 

I prefer to set my volume to a prime number.

Oohh, our TV is always at odd numbers for volume. Normally 35 when watching with The Wife, but when she's in bed I set it to 31, sometimes 29 or 27 if it's a particularly loud mix.

I set the TV volume to 13 because I'm a Goth.

That depends what day of the week it is. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays are multiples of five, Tuesdays and Thursdays are multiples of four, and the weekend is prime numbers.

I set the vol of the TV to 0, 3, 6, 9, 12... why on earth I decided to study acoustics?

I suspect a well designed tv has one

volume step = 3dB.

That would be a terrible design!

But a very popular one...

 

Apparently 2dB is seen as standard for phones etc.

It's a Sony, and definitely does not have 3 dB steps in vol. Do I have to turn on my B&K and measure the steps? No no... now you @Stub Mandrel have planted the seed... bugger.

I set the TV volume at zero, and use the HiFi volume to control the sound level. It does not have numbers.

We have a sound bar that's the same. It was great. Until firestick. Now there is off/tooquiet/tooloud .... never been higher than that. It's bloody infuriating.
