Liminal spaces are the subject of an Internet aesthetic portraying empty or abandoned places that appear eerie, forlorn, and often surreal. Liminal spaces are commonly places of transition (pertaining to the concept of liminality) or of nostalgic appeal.

I worked as a board op when I was there. If I had the chance, I dropped audio levels by 5-10dB for commercials.
uh ... that's a lot, nobody noticed?
No one said anything. And considering how loud they often are, it really wasn't that much.
Why are you lying about this?
I'm not.
You just told me 5-10 dB isn't much - you're completely full of shit about all of this.
5-10 db isn't that much.

dB is a logarithmic scale: a 3 dB change represents a doubling or halving of power, and a 10 dB change is perceived as roughly twice or half as loud. A 5-10 dB cut would be highly noticeable, especially in tightly regulated environments like studios. To claim otherwise is inconsistent with basically everything relevant to this discussion.
I'm aware.
When I lowered the gain from 5-10dB, it wasn't a huge change.
