If the sound range exceeds the level of 140 dB, a person may have ruptured eardrums, the occurrence of concussion, if the excess reaches 160 dB or more, it may be fatal. For comparison, the strength of sound during conversation is 40 dB, and various noises in offices, for example from computers and printers - 55 dB [1].
