A sound measured at 138 decibels (dB) is extremely loud and can cause immediate hearing damage or pain. For context, it is comparable to the sound of a jet engine at takeoff or a gunshot. Prolonged exposure to such high levels can lead to permanent hearing loss. Generally, sounds above 85 dB are considered potentially harmful with extended exposure.
