34 is the US measure. European measure translates to 50.

Maybe a metric to imperial conversion issue.

11 is the max. You see it's one louder.

Makes me wonder if it's a "tuned" value to meet silly Euro noise standards or something. You know 35 is just too loud....
Meaning: I can modify with VAG-COM to make it go 1+ louder!
