Your hearing is extremely important. Protect it properly!
Understanding what constitutes loud noises is not always straightforward. However, given that sounds over 85 decibels can lead to permanent damage or hearing loss, it is crucial to know what sounds fall into this category.
Thankfully, the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (NIOSH/CDC) have compiled a helpful list of decibel ratings. The list details the permissible exposure time to common sounds, enabling individuals to take the necessary precautions to protect their hearing.

Bulldozer | 88 dB | 4 hours |
Jazz Concert | 91 dB | 2 hours |

Nightclub | 97 dB | 30 minutes |
Ambulance Siren, inside driver window down | 100 dB | 15 minutes |
