Exposure to 140 dB of sound should be minimized as much as possible as it can cause immediate hearing damage or loss. Prolonged exposure to this level of sound can result in permanent hearing damage. Protective equipment like earplugs or earmuffs should be worn in environments where 140 dB of sound is present.
