140 decibels is equivalent to the sound level of a jet engine at takeoff or a gunshot at close range. It is considered extremely loud and can cause immediate hearing damage or pain to unprotected ears. For context, normal conversation is about 60 decibels, while sounds above 85 decibels can be harmful over prolonged exposure.
