Its not 240. Im positive.A shuttle launch is around 240 i believe. The only reason it can get this high is because of the extreme heat that it puts out, it changes the physics of the air around it a little and makes it more compressable.
Its the blue whales, yes. It's 186 db. A girl in my class did a report on a blue whale and that was the only part I remember //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gifi thought i remembered hearing somewhere that the loudest recorded noise ever was that of a blue whale, and it hit the mic at something like 220 Db underwater, and it was well above the human range of hearing. i could be mistaken, but i think that whales(and possibly other marine animals) routinly create ultra high intensity signals like this, and they dont pose a threat to humans since the freq's are so high they cant afect us... i could be mistaken though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
oh 240? i highly highly doubt that. maybe underwater. perhaps if we launched our rockets from the sea-floor it could reach 240 dbs but i highly doubt it.A shuttle launch is around 240 i believe. The only reason it can get this high is because of the extreme heat that it puts out, it changes the physics of the air around it a little and makes it more compressable.
it's Scott Owens not Scottie Johnson...Didn't Scottie Johnson break 180db with the Pioneer SPL truck??
rarefaction is the correct term, not decompression.I bet their is not really a limit, all it is is expansion and contraction, really high frequincys are easier to make louder Dbs caus they are really short bursts of compression and contraction, (contraction, I don't know, decrompression) so maybe in our hearing rang their is a limit. But I dunno thats just what I think.
