Before HQ launched in October, most of the trivia games I played took place at dark bars with big groups of friends, everyone trying whisper the answers just loud enough to be heard over 212 decibels of music, but not so loud that competing teams could eavesdrop.

The settings are controlled with the Aletha app, where you can change how the Sensor-1 lights up its three RGB LEDs, how loud it will sound its alarm (from silent up to 85 decibels), and even how much movement is required to trigger the alarm.

The app lets you turn the din of the world up or down several decibels, plus there's a high-decibel mode that acts like a shortcut to limit the amount of noise entering your ears in a really loud environments like a concert, while still maintaining fidelity.

But after the fight to the death over ObamaCare repeal, followed by the resort to repeal of the ObamaCare individual insurance mandate to provide spending offsets for the equally partisan tax cuts, the screaming that was already beyond the threshold of pain has risen several decibels more.

Noises as soft as 33 decibels—quieter than a library or a bird call—can raise alertness levels in your brain while you sleep and trigger muscle movements, meaning that, at best, you'll spend less time in the most restful phase of sleep and wake up groggy.

Peter Coen, the project manager of NASA's commercial supersonic research team (seen below), told Bloomberg that his team is aiming for a sound level between 60 and 65 A-weighted decibels (dBa), which is roughly as loud as the sound of a luxury car driving on the highway.

In the Netherlands, there have been public health campaigns warning kids in grade school and above to stay away from loud noises, while many devices nowadays—prompted by EU regulations—have a default volume setting below 85 decibels, the level believed to carry a negligible risk of hearing loss.

Black Tusk's trademark "swamp metal" sound is stuffed with burly doom riffs, Motorpunk breakaways, thrashy solos, and sneering reflections of the trio's crusty Southern roots, but despite all the aggression and the ever-climbing decibels, at its core, every riff or beat is geared towards having a good time.

"I know it was because of the content and not the decibels because he did not give me a warning, he did not say get out of there, he didn't pull out a decimeter, he just straight wrote me a ticket," Webb told Detroit's Fox 2 News in June.

He chose this particular shrimp to bestow the weighty namesake upon due to its particular characteristics: it has a claw that can produce sonic energy at up to 210 decibels, equivalent to a sound louder than a rock concert, and has therefore been given the scientific name Synalpheus pinkfloydi.

Owners of the Movistar Arena told Garcia that the audience screams alone during the BTS concerts this year — that is, at moments when the band was not even performing — reached an earsplitting 127 decibels, well past the noise level at which permanent hearing loss becomes a serious concern.

We realized that in order to ease the audience into this very different, novel sound experience, we actually raised the first reel of the movie up several decibels, just so it was a little more relatable and comfortable, and then slowly started to ebb back to a much lower noise floor.

Finally, I was able to get it up to 100 decibels by whistling as loud as I could right into the Apple Watch: Had I stayed in this environment for longer than three minutes, I would have received a notifications that the sound level could be high enough to damage my hearing.

It's so loud that in 2014, a city councilwoman authored a bill designed to flag areas that consistently saw noise levels above 65 decibels; about the level you'd have to raise your voice to carry on a typical conversation—and enough to pose an actual health issue to those continually subjected to the din.

Still, Saturday night's UFC response was far better than the reaction Trump received last Sunday night when he attended Game 5 of the World Series in Washington, DC. There, when Trump was shown on the stadium's large screen, the crowd began booing him loudly -- to the point it reached an estimated nearly 100 decibels.

"Each frequency coming though my speakers, I'd never heard," said Jasond Moody, behind the wheel of his supercharged 2011 Chevrolet Camaro SS. (Each driver was outfitted with huge headphones.) "If you got a 4 kilowatt sound system and you're playing 55 Hz at 120 decibels, physically, it's a real kind of experience," said Tatsuya Takahashi, who built the synthesizers.

Then a train went over the bridge, on tracks twenty or thirty feet from where we were standing, and the reading jumped to ninety-five decibels—more than a three-hundredfold increase in sound intensity and a five- to sixfold increase in perceived loudness—or roughly what you'd hear while using a gasoline-powered lawnmower in your yard.

The lead author of the study, Dr. Justin S. Golub, otolaryngologist and researcher at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, and his colleagues found that hearing loss is on a continuum that starts with "perfect" hearing at zero decibels (the sound level of a pin drop), with measurable cognitive deficits occurring with every additional loss above zero.

First, the FDA needs to limit the "gain"— or maximum loudness — on the devices — to 25 decibels, and a maximum output of 110 DB SPL (sound pressure level) Anything more will make it possible for moderately severe to profound hearing loss to be fit with OTC instruments, which is out of the scope of the law.

The crucial game was broadcast across the U.S. The big picture: As Trump made a rare public appearance outside the White House and his own hotel in D.C., the crowd erupted into "sustained booing" that reached nearly 100 decibels when he and first lady Melania Trump were shown on the big screen at the baseball stadium, the Washington Post reports.

This complicates the other objective of trying to move through this process as silently as possible, lest you alert anyone else in the bathroom that you're committing Gender Deviance — but the crinkle of pad packaging being unwrapped in a public restroom booms at about 150 decibels, so you become certain everyone can hear you and knows there's a trans person in the stall.
