How loud is an acoustic guitar?

I was having trouble finding a good answer on google, but how many decibels would an unplugged, standard dreadnaught acoustic guitar give out you think? (approximately, and at a normal playing level)

80ish for fingerpicked, up to probably 95 when strummed intensely. Depends on the wood the guitar is made from too.
