not only that.. every 10db = the sound is perceived to be twice as loud.

You need to measure something 10 times as loud as a jet?

EDIT: Eardrum rupture occurs around 160 decibels (conventional sound) to 185 decibels (nonperiodic blast pressure). Lung rupture and presumably embolism due to air blast occur at 200 decibels
