How Loud Can Sound Actually Get?

US A simple question with a potentially existential answer      22/03/22

Benn Jordan seeks to answer the question 'How Loud Can Sound Actually Get?' in his latest video. It's a question posed to him by Tim Exile and in tackling it he covers the question itself with a scientific explanation of how we measure sound. He goes on to explain logarithmic scales, Weber-Fechner Law and the ominous loudest sound in history.

It's an informed and methodical approach to answering the question, and you'll find more videos on technical subjects relating to music making, synthesis, science and sound on his youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCshObcm-nLhbu8MY50EZ5Ng
