My wife sings in a choir which had a 30th anniversary concert last evening.
I didn’t record it but as a matter of interest ran the SPLnFFT app on my phone during the concert.
The dynamic range was from 47dB to 95dB unweighted.
I am always surprised by how little loud high frequency content there is with the vast bulk of the FFT showing the loudest parts of the music were all below 2kHz with obvious components above this but a level well down on the rest.
Getting 95dB in my room at my listening distance without it sounding loud because of distortion, as opposed to loud because it actually is at 95dB is something it took decades to achieve.
