But reporters for the LA Times, using a handheld decibel reader, found that just a few notes were ringing in at 73dB, while the majority of the music was clocking in at an average of 83dBs.
During some string flourishes, the sound peaked at 90dB thanks to the acoustics of the underground tunnel, though the volume diminished depending on where one was standing in relation to the speakers.

Also, as much as classical music is associated with the upper class, so is homeless advocacy. In my city, a notorious homeless shelter was established right next to the symphony's concert hall. The same super-rich people donated to both of them.
