85db
As loud as a train whistle from 10 ft away.
Sound is capable of damaging your hearing once over 85db.
8 hours with 85dB of continuous sound pressure, 4 hours with 95dB, 2 hours with 105 etc.
A dangerous sound level is defined as above 85db to cause hearing damage. Long term exposure to 80 db can also damage hearing.
Normal conversation is 60 -70dB, city traffic (inside car) is 85dB and about this level is soft recorded music. A Walkman at half volume is 94dB and Rock Music peaks at 150dB
if you are always exposed to the 160dB sound (gun shot, perhaps?), it will affect your hearing. I've read an article on hearing loss saying that if a sound reaches 85dB or stronger, it can cause permanent damage..
Pink noise it's self will not cause damage to your hearing. However it is how loud and how long you play the sound for. If you listen to pink noise with a volume level under 85db SPL(Sound Pressure Level) is quite unlikely to cause any damage to your hearing, even if listening to it continuously =)
Yes, if you can produce more than 85dB of noise. The louder the scream above this threshold, the faster you can damage your hearing. At 100dB, it takes about 20min. Normally it is unlikely unless you scream a lot. Opera singers sometimes have hearing damage due to the loudness and time extent of their singing.
It mean what you don't what does it mean.
Mean is the average.
