It's the high sound pressure deviation we measure as sound pressure level (SPL) at our eardrums. The threshold of pain is known in acoustics as the lowest strength of a stimulus that is perceived by the ear as painful. Because of the different sensitivity of the hearing of people it cannot be given an accurate value. You can find the following rounded values for threshold of pain in various audio articles and books:
140 dBSPL equivalent to 200 Pa
137.5 dBSPL equivalent to 150 Pa
134 dBSPL equivalent to 100 Pa
130 dBSPL equivalent to 63 Pa
120 dBSPL equivalent to 20 Pa
Sound pressure levels more than 140 dB will burst your eardrums.
