decibels are a logarithmic scale, so going up by 10 means it’s 10 times stronger.
So 200db is not twice as much as 100db, it’s TEN BILLION TIMES louder.
At 150db your eardrums would burst. At 185-200db you’d just die.
once you pass the 190db mark is really doesn’t make any sense to describe it as a sound. It’s more of a shockwave. explosions are 200-300db, and that includes nuclear ones. So 500db is a shock wave that is one hundred quintillion times stronger than our biggest explosions. That’s not a sound. That’s “the earth is vaporized, the rest of the solar system is gone, and a few billion years from now astronomers in neighboring galaxies are writing research papers on why there’s such a big hole in one of the Milky Way’s spiral arms.”
a stray cat showed up in my garden earlier and i named him todd howard as a joke but now i have to live with this because my stepfather just said “todd howard didnt eat the cat food i left out for him”
