It getting too quiet here!

This is something which I have noticed on occasion(Or maybe I imagined it :) ) The area I stay in seem to have huge fluctuations in power supply, I have noticed it before whenever I want to fry a steak on the stove(Yes, I love cooking AND eating!) that sometimes the griddle does not as hot as I would like it.

Now I think I sometimes have the same experience when listening to music. It is as if I have to turn the volume much higher than what I would normally do to get the same levels. Then after a while I find myself turning the volume down bit by bit as it feels as if it gradually becomes louder.

I suppose the best thing to do would be to get hold of an SPL meter to determine if I am just imagining things.

So what do you guys think?
