I just tried this and I honestly wonder if anyone does this...
To hear most of the sounds I have to turn my volume so loud gunshots hurt my ears (sure it's realistic) and my footsteps sound like a monster stomping around and crouching and jumping sound just as weird.
And even at that volume I can just kind of hear some sounds. I bet the official maps have way more sounds than people think (did you know douze has sounds?) -- the only one I'm used to hearing is ac_power, and at this volume every sound in the map screams at me (I also noticed at this volume the map changing sound is too loud)
The official maps sounds don't appear too be consistent -- ac_power's sounds appear the loudest with werk's sounds being average and other maps too quiet to turn the volume up for and still play.
For perspective I use modern speakers.
