Noise Level: 90 dB

70 dB (Vacuum) 85 dB (Traffic) 100 dB (Mower) 115 dB (Concert) 130 dB (Siren)

Regulatory Standard

Common Decibel Benchmarks:

• 60 dB: Normal conversation (Indefinite safe exposure)
• 85 dB: Heavy city traffic, blender (Damage threshold begins)
• 95 dB: Motorcycle, lawnmower, food processor
• 110 dB: Nightclub, rock concert, leaf blower
• 120+ dB: Siren, thunderclap, jet takeoff (Pain threshold)

Safe Maximum Daily Exposure Time

8 Hours

Moderate Risk (Hearing Protection Advised)

Permissible Exposure: 8 hours 0 mins

Hearing Protection Required: Recommended

Selected Standard: NIOSH (3 dB rule)

Rule of Thumb: For every 3 dB increase (NIOSH), safe exposure time is halved. At 100 dB, NIOSH limits safe exposure to only 15 minutes!
