How many decibles in a loud shout?

A loud shout can range from 80 to 100 decibels (dB).

Here's a breakdown:

* 80 dB: This is the approximate level of a loud conversation or a busy street.

* 90 dB: This is the level of a motorcycle or a lawnmower.

* 100 dB: This is the level of a loud shout or a rock concert.

It's important to note that the actual decibel level of a shout can vary depending on several factors, including:

* The person shouting: Some people naturally have louder voices than others.

* The effort put into the shout: A yell will be louder than a whisper.

* The distance from the source: The further away you are, the quieter the sound will be.

Prolonged exposure to sounds above 85 dB can cause hearing damage. So, while a loud shout may not seem dangerous, it's still important to be mindful of how loud you are shouting and how long you're doing it for.
