has anyone ever died from too much bass?


Recommended Posts

is the loudest sound can be is 193 db before it isnt considered a sound anymore? LOL it was just something i heard from somewhere

Yup yup, you know what you are talking about.

At 194 dB a lethal, overpressure shockwave is created. Similar to an explosion shockwave, that is more positive pressure than rarefraction because this is the point that a total vacuum is created.

i hear it takes 200+ db to stop the heart...most likely gona go permanently deaf before you die...
correct
Sit in a 170+ dB vehicle and see if you can walk away, I will pass... lol

Pressure alone in some of these extreme vehicles is probally enuf to kill a person or severly injure them.

by this point your ear drums rupture will have ruptured.
i know someone died because he didnt have enough bass.....

j/k

:rofl:

This is a fun read.

I lol'd at "150dB is enough to cause immediate permanent deafness. Anybody who wants to listen to music or conversation, or anything else at more than about 60 dB needs a brain transplant." Evidently this means the majority of us here on SMD are brain dead and deaf :D

Once you start you can never stop. Bass addiction is serious. And there is no 12 step program for it.
Subs are like titties, They need to come in pairs because ones and threes are just wrong, and larger amounts will always draw a crowd, we all have our favorite sizes, but the bigger ones are more fun to watch move. :D

haha, look at this extremely ignorant answer.

Tom is correct.

That sound level inside a car would go right through ear protection and probably deafen you. If you were still alive after it scrambled your insides.

But the sound outside the car will probably be enough to damage hearing. So you will leave a trail of permanently deaf people behind you.

to produce 160 dB, with high efficiency equipment, you will need 3 million watts of amplifier power. 170dB - 30 million, 180dB - 300 million
