 Thanks for bringing this up. I'm amazed when I read folks bragging about being able to get 100, 105 or even 120 db out of their system, especially their subwoofers. |
There are differences between frequencies and how they effect hearing. For example: one can be in a room with a subwoofer playing a 30Hz tone at 120dB without any hearing loss due to their size, but put the same person in a room with a 500Hz signal at that level for an extended period of time and it will be very painful...This is why it is perfectly safe for one to have their subwoofer capable of 100+dB with no danger.
Just remember, this is a good, but simplified version of the situation.
