The Gulf corvina is a species of croaker (so named for their signature sound) that dwells in the waters of the Gulf of California and the Colorado River delta. Every year between February and June, adults Gulf Corvina migrate to a 12-mile stretch of the Colorado River delta, where they breed in murky waters.
The Krakatoa volcanic eruption: Not only did it cause serious damage to the island, the eruption of Krakatoa in 1883 created the loudest sound ever reported at 180 dB. It was so loud it was heard 3,000 miles (5,000 km) away.
Flexi Says: The loudest sound ever made by humans was the detonation of the Tsar Bomba, a nuclear bomb created and detonated by the Soviet Union in 1961. It was the most powerful nuclear weapon ever created and tested.
At 194 dB, the energy in the sound waves starts distorting and they create a complete vacuum between themselves. The sound is no longer moving through the air, but is in fact pushing the air along with it, forming a pressurized wall of moving air.
120 – 140 decibels: Such as, a rock concert, auto racing, or a hammer pounding a nail. 125 – 155 decibels: Like, firecrackers or fireworks, or a jet engine. 170 – 190 decibels: For example, a shot gun blast or a rocket lift off.
Loud appliances such as a vacuum cleaner or power tools could exceed 80 dB. Human screams can be quite loud, possibly exceeding 100 dB (as of March 2019, the world record is 129 dB!) —but you probably want to avoid that because screams that loud can hurt your ears!
Hailey et al. For the first time in history, earthlings can hear what a black hole sounds like: a low-pitched groaning, as if a very creaky heavy door was being opened again and again.
The noise from the largest detonated atomic bomb, the RDS-202 Tsar Bomb, can be estimated at an incredible 224 dB. Since the decibels are logarithmic, it is a hundred times more deafening a noise than the Saturn V space rocket.
A nuclear bomb.
Decibel meters set 250 feet away from test sites peaked at 210 decibels. The sound alone is enough to kill a human being, so if the bomb doesn't kill you, the noise will. Fun fact!
Scientists believe the sonic boom was the loudest sound on earth to happen since the 1883 eruption of Krakatau in Indonesia, which was estimated to be 235 dB in the epicenter.
The grenade is thrown and explodes after a roughly 1.5-second delay. The exploding magnesium-based pyrotechnic chemicals cause a very bright flash and a loud sound (160-180 decibels), which can cause temporary blindness, temporary loss of hearing, and loss of balance, and as well as a sense of panic.
After some calculations, he explained that the Sun would theoretically blare out a noise of around 100 decibels, almost as loud as standing next to a speaker at a rock concert or busy nightclub. That's pretty remarkable when you consider the Sun is 150 million kilometers (over 93,000,000 miles) away from us.
Today, we can hear the Sun's movement — all of its waves, loops and eruptions — with our own ears.
Converting the energy of 1,100 decibels to mass yields 1.113x1080 kg, meaning that the radius of the resulting black hole's event horizon would exceed the diameter of the known universe. Voila! No more universe.
A one-time exposure to extreme loud sound or listening to loud sounds for a long time can cause hearing loss. Loud noise can damage cells and membranes in the cochlea. Listening to loud noise for a long time can overwork hair cells in the ear, which can cause these cells to die.
Sound is measured in units called decibels. Sounds at or below 70 A-weighted decibels (dBA) are generally safe. Long or repeated exposure to sounds at or above 85 dBA can cause hearing loss.
Audio devices and mobile phones including iPhone have a sound level of 100 dB or louder. iPhones can produce a maximum of 115 decibels (software limits European iPods to 100 dB; U.S. models have been measured higher), the equivalent of attending a rock concert amplification.
There is no atmosphere on the surface of the Moon. Sound cannot travel without a medium. Hence, there is no sound on the Moon.
but the loudest sound in the universe. is actually from the merger or collision. of 2 black holes. in what you're about to hear, scientists converted the gravitational waves. of 2 black holes, both 30 times the size of the sun, and converted them into sound waves.
The vacuum of outer space has essentially zero air. Because sound is just vibrating air, space has no air to vibrate and therefore no sound. If you are sitting in a space ship and another space ship explodes, you would hear nothing.
The intensity of energy that these sound waves produce is measured in units called decibels (dB). The lowest hearing decibel level is 0 dB, which indicates nearly total silence and is the softest sound that the human ear can hear.
During the day, the sound bends away from the ground; during the night, it bends towards the ground. Hence at night, you have additional "sound" reaching you, making it louder.
Grenades are anti-personnel weapons. They are not designed to cause structural damage to buildings and infrastructure, rather they are used to 'clear' buildings of enemy personnel and can be particularly lethal when detonated in confined spaces.
Most grenades will detonate about 3-5 seconds after the trigger is released, giving you a few critical moments to react. The kill radius from a grenade's explosion is about 15 feet, and the casualty radius is about 50 feet, though pieces of shrapnel can still fly much farther than that.
