@ThermiteBeGiants@jpm also isn’t there a theoretical limit to decibels relating to the atmosphere, topping out at like 190dB where it’s ‘noise of a Saturn rocket engine’
@jpm@ThermiteBeGiants I was right, it’s logarithmic, apparently every 10dB is an order of magnitude greater, and Saturn V was ~205dB. So maybe the 12v horn is that much mathematically louder than the Apollo rockets but probably it’s not
@jpm dB is a logarithmic scale. Every 3dB is double the energy. A plane taking off is about 130dB, and there are about 170 energy doublings to get to 600 dB. I'm guessing the energy of a 600 dB horn would be like a super nova ;-)
