Could you please clarify what you mean by "Lmax decibel level"? Is this referring to a specific measurement or standard in the field of audio engineering or acoustics? If so, Lmax typically refers to the maximum sound pressure level, measured in decibels (dB), that a system or device is capable of producing. However, without more context, it's difficult to give a precise answer as Lmax can vary depending on the specific application and industry standards. Could you provide some additional information or context to help me better understand your question?

The concept of positive alpha, or outperforming a benchmark index, has been a cornerstone of financial investing for decades. However, with the rise of passive investing and the proliferation of index funds, some investors are questioning whether the pursuit of positive alpha is still worth the cost. Are active managers truly able to consistently generate alpha, or is it simply a result of luck and market timing? Furthermore, are the fees charged by active managers for their services justified, given the potential for underperformance? Ultimately, the question remains: is positive alpha overpriced, or is it still a valuable investment strategy?

Could you please clarify for me, is 20 decibels (dB) considered to be a very loud noise level? I understand that decibels are a logarithmic scale used to measure sound intensity, but I'm unsure of how to interpret the specific number of 20 dB in terms of its perceived loudness. Is it comparable to the sound of a whisper, a normal conversation, or something louder? Thank you for your assistance in clarifying this matter.
