$ normalize-audio -bnv *.wav
Computing levels...
  level        peak
-12.1733dBFS -0.3845dBFS  export.wav
Standard deviation is 0.00 dB
-12.1733dBFS average level
0.173349dB   volume adjustment

That is why I added the -n switch not to change my original files.

0.17dB is nothing to worry about...  ;-)
