Bir Was Fun, Any Word On The So?

Its logarithmic, so every ten dB, output is tenfold.

Wouldn't that be exponential?

240DB would probably kill someone.


747's produce around 150db's on take off.

Yeah I fucked up.Sound is doubled every ten decibels.3 dB= double the power.The difference between 160 dB and 240 dB is 100 million times the output.Atomic blasts are right around 240 dB, hence to major shockwave.It is actually exponential from the threshold of human hearing, when expressed in Bels not dB's I believe.

Damn, I'm turning into a post whore.

:naughty: i think if you want to talk like a teaher you should stop talking cuz,

i'm used to sleeping while they are talking!!!! :razz2: ;)

If you mensa losers want to keep yacking about dB's and other things I give not a single shit about, start another thread. You could call it the "I think I have a big brain so I am going to talk about dB's and try to sound intelligent" thread. Should be a bunch of you little nerdy dorks in there.

[SlowWhite]

I'm a blonde I can't be a nerd.

I was just relating to my DB Drag Days when I was hitting 143db's.


And I know what the cars that were hitting 160db's sounded like as well as them breaking world records at the time.

Then trying to imagine 240db's is in one word....."WOW"

Anyways back on topic - did you get any video of the Dragsters? I've never seen a top fuel car in person only on TV.

Where were there Times and MPH like?
