The highest sound level recorded is around 194 decibels, which is produced by the Krakatoa volcanic eruption in 1883. Exposure to sound levels above 120-130 decibels can cause immediate harm to human hearing.
We have very loud competitions in "dB Drag Racing", but this is usually not recorded. There you can learn how loud that is. Measuring of sound pressure levels have to do with distance. The closer you are, the louder it is. Scroll down to related links and look at "dB Drag Racing".
There is no end in chaos sound level. I would never like to do personal tests to get an answer to this question. There must be said: Highest sound level till your ears are aching. There must be said: Highest sound level till tinitus is coming. There must be said: Highest sound level till you are going mad. Highest sound level till ear drums are destroyed and blood comes out of your ears. Highest sound level till ear drums is destroyed and blood comes out of your ears. Highest sound level till the whole air pressure is modulated (194 dB SPL). In a center of an A bomb explosion there is even higher pressure.
On a scale of 1 to 200 the loudest sound sound possible is 194dB. By comparison, a whisper in a library is 30dB. Sustained exposure at 90dB to 95dB will result in hearing loss. Pain begins at 125dB and Rock Music peaks at 150dB
An increase of 10 decibels represents a doubling of sound intensity. So, 10 decibels louder would sound noticeably louder, such as a car passing nearby compared to a quiet conversation.
by loudness decibels by frequency hertz by wavelength any power of meter
The decibel scale is logarithmic, with each increase of 10 decibels representing a tenfold increase in sound intensity. This means that a sound at 20 decibels is 10 times more intense than a sound at 10 decibels, and a sound at 30 decibels is 100 times more intense than a sound at 10 decibels.
A sound at 15 decibels is not very load. It is equivalent to the sound that watch makes when ticking.
Sound intensity is mesured in decibels !
