Default How loud is 140DB?

I'm just curious as to how loud 140DB actually is. If I was blaring music @ 140DB with the windows down / doors open, how far would someone be able to hear it? Would I be able to "feel" the music if I was in the car?



And no, i'm not one of those obnoxious guys who just blare bass and ruin it for us all, i'm actually just curious.

So loud you couldn't concentrate...your vocal cords begin to resonate, you couldn't hear a gun shot which is 133db...



Ever been to a heavy metal concert? 150db



1lb of TNT @ 15m...180db
