March 8, 200916 yr I thought the loudest sound possible in our atmosphere is around 190db? I may be wrong but I always heard that once you reach that point the air in our atmosphere can't be compressed any more. I'm sure at a higher altitude more db's would be possible since the air is thinner but nowhere near 1000db's.I;ve read thats the case for speakers ,at 194db the speaker would begin moving in its own created vacuum ,so at that point wont be able to reproduce sound .Nature has phenomenons man can never immitate with technology though
