loud sound is loud

This type of music tends to challenge the distinction that is made in conventional musical practices between musical and non-musical sound.

No argument for digital, pcm data is coded from -32768 to + 32767, it would be possible to code chunks with only these two values.
You could just code a track at either of these, which i've done, and effectively moves the speaker to its maximum deflection and holds it there, possibly destroying the coil. You hear a click / thump as the cone moves and then nothing.

A more subtle approach would be to record at very high offsets, this might also damage equioment and you could use any fairly quiet base sounds.

As for vinyl and tape i dont know but there will be physical limits.

We've been over this before...

As for playback - depends i suspect there is some practical upper limit, but at a certain level the sound becomes a blast wave. Like recently in Beriut.

While I'm here, i think FAP said all cassette recorders had only one head, well the higher market ones have separate erase heads (as do cheaper) and a separate record and playback head, on my Sony all in one, this allows you to monitor the actual recorded sound as you record. They are perhaps too close together to use as reverb / echo by feeding the monitored signal back to record, a trick on reel to reel with separate playback heads.

If you want actual recording of high / low pcm data you can down load from here...

Download the zip but dont unpack all - *UNPACKED DATA IS 107 GIGABYTES

TAKE CARE WITH PLAYING AT HIGH VOLUMES, THOUGH SILENT THE DC OFFSETS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE:

* equation.

maybe noise is perceived as louder than its standard deviation
?

hence the standard deviation hype?

Ok here's this


And then theres this..that has play at maximum volume on the record sleeve.


What one seems more loud to you?

I would also suggest you listen to this Blue Cheer album....at maximum volume.


Or maybe some other pre metal heavy rock album.
