What about adding an optional limit to volume

When I was editing an audio just now, I accidentally make the volume
sliders to the left of the track to max value as I am dragging the
selection tool. I haven't realized what a crazy thing I did, until my ear
got exploded!! (That's hyperbole.) And I feel so bad because my body got
kind of scared, with fast heart beating and knowing there can be a
potentially aural hurt.

What about adding an information message box (can be disabled on settings)
when the total volume is too loud or something similar to notice user in
order to keep their aural health. I noticed Audacity have an unusual care
to blinded people compared to other software, I'm not so sure but that may
be a problem to them as well, because they have difficulty to know how the
volume has been set. I have been playing a game or using a software, sorry
I don't remember the details, it does display a messaging box to tell you
that your ear may be hurt. I think this is a serious problem although it
does not happen frequently and it won't be tackled by only Audacity, as it
happens, it matters.
