1000 dB!

whoooo

[B7L|BL4Z3R 4]

hahahahhaha brutal

pssshhm i'd wrap myself in damplifier and walk on by

does it make anyone poo themselves...thats the real question

[audio-neon 34]

Ohh, math assignment:

How much force would be required to create a 7hz tone at 100dB's than how much at 1000dB's.

Humanly impossible if you ask me.

They are not actually 1000db. I believe they are in the neighborhood of 150-160db.

I would love to make a "bait car" with one of these and keep parking it in bad areas with the keys in it. lulz

I agree, that is pretty insane. If a nuclear bomb is actually 250ish I'd imagine the only thing louder would be an H+ bomb. I wonder what one of those produces?

[audio-neon 34]

I'm just going to say that lower frequencies require more power and more cone movement, because you are physically moving tons of air to reach these frequencies.

SO you would need a) TONS of Displacement

b) a lot of energy

In a car audio application, hell even most home audio applications, 150+ dB's at 7hz is impractical, and honestly it has been discussed and proven implausible before, it's a great science fiction weapon, but I have yet to see anything capable of producing this.

IIRC, LRAD uses high frequencies. Certainly not 7hz tones.

[bassahaulic 155]

I like Thumpers 140+ at 10Hz

[KU40 173]

IIRC, LRAD uses high frequencies. Certainly not 7hz tones.

I was thinking the same thing. There was that show on Discovery channel and it certainly sounded way higher. Like 3k hz. Which would make sense because that's around where humans are most sensitive to the sound, so it would hurt more.

[SpeakerBoy 64]

i though we could only hear down to 22hz...?

[mrray13 30]

i don't know about LRAD, but i know that certain pds are using a new "siren" that does employ ultralow frequencies. the idea is that since so many people claim to not see, nor hear, the squad behind them, but using ultralow frequencies, teh suspect car would feel the squad car. IIRC, it wa on discovery channel at one time, but i don't remember the specifics.

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

the germans were designing one in WWII

[Solid_State13 1]

sounds kinda like the matterhorn, that shipping container thing

[mdexxxiv 1]

1000 db isn't possible. If the earth exploded you would get something that split atoms bit by that point it wouldn't matter.

[Thumpper 266]

I know that a 10hz tone in the 143db to 145db range can feel really interesting

I'll be able to beet that by a few DB soon enough............

Hit the loudest brown note ever

[Wall_Breaker 0]

I thought the loudest sound possible in our atmosphere is around 190db? I may be wrong but I always heard that once you reach that point the air in our atmosphere can't be compressed any more. I'm sure at a higher altitude more db's would be possible since the air is thinner but nowhere near 1000db's.

[Duran 387]

An island volcano which forget the name of erupted and created 250+ decibels. The echo was heard for MONTHS after.

mmats truck does 154 @ 19 correct?

An island volcano which forget the name of erupted and created 250+ decibels. The echo was heard for MONTHS after.

It was Krakatoa in Indonesia. It blew in 1883 and sent a shock wave around the earth 7 times. The sound was at 180db from 100 miles away, injuring ships crews in the area, and the bang was heard 3,000 miles away. The sound killed whoever or whatever wasn't burned or drowned.

Wasn't a good day.

Yup that would be the one!
