This is a very tought thing to answer. You have things like clip and input
signal level to deal with. The last part goes very quickly, so it is very hard
to judge. Depending on how you look at it, it could be 12 dB, 24 dB or 50 dB.

I think there needs to be some additional criteria to be added for a
meaningfull answer to appear.

Cheers,
Magnus
