i really shouldnt be mogging right now. i have a hundred things i have to do by tomorrow/ whatev!
i gave a presentation on noise pollution last week and i, how do you say? NAILED IT! but i also learned a lot, and decided that i should probably start bringing ear plugs to the next live show i go to...did you know...1) when you are exposed to noise 130-140 decibels, you normally feel pain (they call this the pain threshold).2) at 160 dB, your eardrums pop.3) if you are hit with a concentrated blast of noise at 200 dB your lungs could rupture.SHOOOOT SON.to give you an idea of decibel levels:40 dB: rainfall60 dB: normal conversation85 dB: busy city traffic----------------------------------this is where you start doing damage:90 dB: hair dryers115 dB: ipod at peak volume/rock concert140 dB: gunshotobviously the louder the volume, the less amount of time you should spend exposed to it. however, for us music junkies, the human ear should only be exposed to intense volumes like a rock show for only a minute before screwing them up all nice like. thats less than a song! and although i admit i love getting my ears cleaned at a show, id rather be able to listen to music for the rest of my life than... not.
so next time pack the plugs! oh ya and if you read in the paper about beached whales, most of the time its because boat sonar and air guns from oil explorations are driving them out of the water yadda yadda yadda...
