What decibels damage our hearing?
The sound pressure of the threshold of hearing is 20µPa as the reference value that is 0 dB. The threshold of pain depends on the listening person. You can find the following rounded limits in various articles (Sound pressure level Lp and Sound pressure p):120 dB = 20 Pa130 dB = 63 Pa134 dB = 100 Pa137.5 dB = 150 Pa140 dB = 200 Pa Cheers ebsWe can hear from the threshold of hearing at 0 dB up to the threshold of pain at around 130 dB.
How are music waves harmful to humans?

Do wind turbines make a sound?

What causes us to hear some sounds as loud and others as quiet?
To answer this question, you need to know a little about human ear anatomy. In the ear we have the Basalar membrane that is a fluid like substance in the cochlea. As sound travels through the cochlea the memrane vibrates and causes waves. As the membrane moves it presses up against another membrane called the tectoral membrane that in turn is next to hair fibers. As the membranes moves it presses down on the hair fibers and we hear sound. The greater amplitude of the wave the louder the noise because the membrane is pressing hard against those hair fibers. This is the reason why continuous loud noise is not good for your hearing because those hair fibers can break. Once those hair fibers are not sending the correct signal to the brain, you can have hearing loss.
