Yeah, most dB charts you find indicate 70 as "loud traffic." And as someone who lives by a major Chicago highway in Lake Shore Drive, I can tell you that that's more than loud enough for music listening. My measured listening is generally 60-65, with peaks around 70, and I never feel like I'm missing anything - and also never experience ringing afterwards.
