At a quarter mile from the launch pad the measured decibels were 160 to 170, far beyond the pain threshold for humans of 120 to 130 decibels. There are even louder events on Earth, e.g. a blue whale under water 188 decibels, a 1-ton TNT bomb at 250 feet even 210 decibels; directly above the epicenter of a 5.0 Richter scale earth quake 235 decibels; finally the famous Tunguska meteor of 1908 estimated at 300 (comparable to a 1000-Megaton bomb). The decibels scale is logarithmic, which means each increase in 10 constitutes a doubling of intensity.
