Noise intensity levels are measured in decibel (dB) units. Sounds below 85 dB are considered safe without hearing protection.
Common, everyday sounds can be loud and exceed 95 dB, including bulldozers, ambulance sirens, chain saws, bars, night clubs, and sporting events. Use of firearms can reach intensity levels greater than 145 dB.
