yeah, the worst thing about sounds that arent crazily loud is the
duration youre exposed to them. even with earplugs like the foam ones
that cut -32 dB, when youre talking about being around some of these
massive loud soundsystems that are pushing out 115+ dB, you should
only be exposed to that ~85dB for like a couple hours at a time!

which gives you approximations of things that make sounds at different dBs....
