| Platform | Target Loudness | How 87% RMS Compares | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | -14 LUFS | 87% RMS (~ -16 LUFS) is quieter; safer for dynamic music. | | YouTube | -14 LUFS (Integrated) | 87% RMS requires about 2dB of extra gain to match. | | Apple Music | -16 LUFS (Sound Check) | Nearly identical. Perfect match. | | Broadcast TV (ATSC A/85) | -24 LKFS | 87% RMS is too loud for TV; use for digital only. | sound normalizer 87 verified
