MY DOGS BARK IS 118DB PER A DB METER FROM A SOUND SHOP. :eek:

95 dBA - no more than 4 hours per day
100 dBA - no more than 2 hours per day (example - chain saw)
105 dBA - no more than 1 hour per day
110 dBA - no more than ½ hour per day
115 dBA - no more than ¼ hour per day (preferably less)
140 dBA - NO EXPOSURE TO IMPACT OR IMPULSE NOISE ABOVE THIS LEVEL (examples - gunshot blast, jet plane at takeoff)

How loud an object is is not just a db rading on a sound level meter.
A low frequency sound is perceived to be louder than a high frequency sound of the same db level.
