How loud, AVR setup

So a lot of AVR's come with auto setup microphones, most of the manuals state that it will be very loud, likely to scare small children and pets. So how loud is the test setup?

Why does this even matter? Simply get the kids and pets out of the way or outside for the setup?

A) we don't all live in a detached house
B) if the amp whacks up to max output you'd have to make sure your speakers were rated higher.

A) What has living in a detached house got to do with running a test setup for 10-15 mins? Just do it at a reasonable and sociable time and if you are feeling really nice give your neighbours a bit of warning, though I doubt that would be needed.

B) Why would the amp "whack up to max output"?

B) as the manuals don't state to what level they test at then it's a sensible question (how loud) to ask
