    That’s actually not a very good comparison since, decibels being a base 10 exponential scale, the loudness of 133 and 155 decibels are not at all comparative.

    A much better comparison is a 1984 Motörhead concert:

    Lemmy and co.’s set was allegedly measured at 130 decibels, before it was cut short as plaster from the ceiling started to rain down on the audience below.

    And that’s still MUCH less loud than a microwave eggsplosion!
