Starting at 85 decibels, ear plugsshould be worn because hearing damage begins. At 140 decibels, no matter what the frequency or duration of time, serious damage is inflicted to the ears and it is extremely painful. At 145 decibels, vision begins to blur due to vibration. 163 decibels is the minimum glass breaking sound level.

The sound pressure level of 1 dB is very close to the threshold of hearing. It is really nearly not to be heard.
