Around 65-70 dB here.
I can crank a pop song up to 85 dB occasionally.
Classical concerts can go up to 108 dB at full orchestral strength (Bruckner's Eighth by the Rotterdam Symphony Orchestra was even painful for me!).
Fortunately you mostly get only short episodes of loud passages.
Jazz concerts: when not acoustic, I'll always take my personalised ear plugs that lower the volume by 18-20 dB.
Last year we experienced peaks of 110 dB.
A couple of months ago, we were at the party of a niece of ours.
We weren't expecting loud music. So we didn't bring our ear plugs.
But the levels were constantly at 90-95 dB.
I asked to put the volume lower. Didn't happen.
When a little live group came a bit later, we got terrible, horribly reflected sound, with constant peaks above 105 dB.
We left after 2 songs.
