Asuming the attenuator is calculated using sound pressure or voltage,
-40 dB is 100 times less powerful (though probably circa 8 times
less loud in times of how loud you actually perceive it). Really you
want it as loud as it can be without distortion, even though you can
amplify it afterwards. I would try -10 dB first (should sound about
half as loud).
