I can only give you an approximation of the best volume for me.
On my cell phone, which is what I use to play my subliminals, there are 15 "clicks", not 30. I never use headphones, but the best volume will be different for headphones vs speakers. You should use a much lower volume for headphones. So when it comes to a player I am not familiar with and headphones at the same time, I can only estimate.
You should never use the ultrasonic track on your headphones. Second, to calibrate volume, generally it will be whatever is comfortable to listen to.
On my cell phone, I use the speaker, and I find that a volume of 12 or 13 out of 15 works best. I use ultrasonic. That would mean that on yours, you would be playing it at approximately the same volume (theoretically) if you doubled that and routed it to a speaker that does not also have it's own volume adjustment. So you would want to use 24 to 26.
If the speaker also has a volume adjustment, that all goes out the window. At that point the only thing I can tell you is the volume at the source should be approximately -12 dB when measured with FrequenSee on a cell phone.
To calibrate a masked or hybrid track on headphones - and I recommend against hybrid on headphones as well - listen to the trickling stream and adjust it to a comfortable volume. Then listen to ocean surf and adjust it so that the lowest volume areas are still at least faintly audible and the loudest parts are not too loud.
That is the best I can do to help you find the right volume.
