Loudest Sound Ever?
As I have gotten older, I have less tolerance for very loud music. At a rock concert, I have been known to pack my ears with cotton so that I can enjoy the music without grimacing in pain. At home, my listening level is low-to-medium — definitely lower than probably a lot of other members here. Only occasionally will I listen at louder levels, and usually that is when driving in my car. |
Black holes do not burp. You are maybe thinking of Hawking radiation? http://scholarpedia.org/article/Hawking_radiation |
"Technically the conditions prior to the Big Bang are undefined." Factually: no one knows the Big Bang happened. That's why it's referred to as a, "theory". ie: Hawkings works = Theoretical Cosmology/Physics. https://www.newscientist.com/article/2053929-a-brief-history-of-stephen-hawking-a-legacy-of-paradox/ (RIP) |

In '69 I worked the summer for Marriott Corp, on one of those trucks that rises up to the plane to swap out food service stuff. We spent 1/2 the time just sitting near the runway, waiting for the plane. We weren't issued ear protectors so really got a close up experience of jet noise. The 2 loudest were the Boeing 707s (various configs had been in use for years by then); and the then-brand new 747. The 707s had sharper, more painful sound (extremely loud engines) and the 747s had deeper, more menancing bass sound (bigger planes & engines). Many times we sat in that truck buffeted by sound that felt like a storm (the truck shook like it was). No doubt helps explain my constant tinnitus... |
