5. Safety
warnings
Sound systems are capable of producing high sound pressure levels which can lead to a
hearing damage especially in long term exposition.
To prevent damage to hearing avoid being too close to speakers in operation.
The generally accepted standard to minimize hearing risk is based on an exposure to
85 dBA for a maximum limit of eight hours per day, followed by at least ten hours of recovery
time at 70 dBA or lower (at which the risk of harm to healthy ears is negligible). Then
a “3 dB exchange rate” formula is applied, which means that for every 3 dB above 85 dBA,
the maximum exposure time is cut in half.
Noise levels above 140 dB are not considered safe for any period of time, however brief. For
children, the World Health Organization recommends no exposure above 120 dB.
