Cool, can I sue over damaged hearing because you are a total POS?
85db or above can cause hearing damage, and every 10db is a doubling of sound so that would be 8x louder than 85 db threshold.
Also for reference, a jet engine is 140db
My first thought also. Not only am I not tipping, I am suing for the painful, immediate and permanent hearing loss.
At 85 dB you’ll have hearing damage from long term exposure without hearing protection. Normally considered 8 hours a day 5 days a week. So 2000 hours in a year. Higher sound levels have a lower threshold so shorter times. 120 dB is the threshold of pain, so immediate hearing damage. Also, dB are a 10x log scale. So every 10 dB is an order of magnitude increase. So the siren is actually about 3000x louder than when you should start wearing earpro.
