A speaker with a power rating of 5 watts will typically produce a moderate sound level. The actual loudness depends on various factors, such as the distance from the speaker, the sensitivity of the speaker, and the noise level in the surrounding environment. For reference, a quiet conversation is about 50 to 55 decibels, and a 5-watt speaker at maximum volume is generally louder than a quiet conversation but still softer than loud conversations, car traffic, or a nearby vacuum cleaner, which are typically between 60 and 80 decibels.
