How much sound is lethal for a human being?

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), whether the sound is crossing its limit or not is measured in decibels (dB).

How can noise kill?

When and how does loud noise become fatal? The answer to this question is how much noise is there. If the noise crosses its high risk limit of 120 dB then the risk of death increases. Now let us understand why this danger increases. Noise up to 90 – 120 dB can cause hearing loss, but noise above 120 dB can tear the eardrum and even cause death.

Loud noise directly increases stress. Hormones are disturbed. That means hormones that increase stress become active. These directly increase blood pressure and heart beats. As a result, excessive noise causes heart attack or stroke.

Not only this, it also affects the brain. The brain always remains in alert mode due to constant noise. Therefore, in such cases, anxiety, anger and mental fatigue increase with stress. At night, loud noise coming from DJ or any other source disrupts sleep. If there is lack of sleep for a long time, the body becomes weak and the risk of heart diseases increases.

Continuous and prolonged listening to noise above 85 decibels (dB) can damage the cells inside the ear. Very loud explosions or DJ sounds can also cause permanent deafness. Not only this,Due to loud noise, people are unable to hear warning sounds like horns, trains or alarms. Due to this, road and industrial accidents may also increase.

Therefore, keep distance from very loud noises. Avoid using headphones or earbuds at loud noise for a long time. Do not go to loud places at night.
