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.

It depends on the speakers you're playing it through...I can't even think of a comparison.
Loud is loud.

Bird calls dog barks a babbling brook crickets...some of those those fuckers can push or exceed 100dbs naturally.
(dog barks can be as loud as 120dbs)

Ok bro...like ah
How many records have PLAY AT MAXIMUM VOLUME or some such on them?
Mostly these will be rock (punk metal) albums that you dont like.

There is no answer for your question I mean each type of media has its inherent limits so no matter how loud you master the sounds I uhh I...dude I refer to my first reply fuck man I dunno

or
maybe probably this is a question for Julia jliat fucking that one guy that likes to argue this kind of question.

From a technological standpoint, Merzbow's I Lead You Towards Glorious Times is considered the loudest noise track ever because it's mastered at -0 db the whole way through, an achievement it shares with any bandwagoner who also did that because you can't get more volume than that. But from an IRL standpoint it's impossible to measure because at that point the limit becomes about speakers and not volume. You play something mastered at 0 db max loudness and now it's all about how hard your speakers can push air. You could play I Lead You Towards Glorious Times through a single earbud laying in the street and it wouldn't sound very loud at all, or you could play it through a full sound system at max volume and liquefy your skeleton instantaneously.
Even if you took a few years and learned all the chords you'd still have a limited number of options. If you ignore the chords your options are infinite and you can master guitar playing in one day. - David Fair
