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

Wouldn't that be exponential? [/b][/quote]
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.
