Normal conversation registers about 60 decibels, a barking dog up to 70, while the subway is around 85 decibels -- all in the safe zone. But the rock band at 120 decibels and your personal stereo system at up to 130 decibels could cause hearing loss if you listen too long.

at 130 decibel, the motion of sound will break our ear-drum, which causes deafness to us

Because the human ear cannot tolerate intensity above 90dB. The frequency of the human ear is from 20-20,000Hz . The dynamic range is 120dB, which is deafening! Have a good day!
