dB (as in decibel) drag
racing is an obscure but growing international "sport" in which competitors go head-to-head for two or three seconds at a time, hence the name drag racing, to establish whose sound system is loudest. The 2002 record, set by a German team of secretive audio engineers, was 177.6 dB (the roar of a 747 on takeoff is usually quantified at about 140 decibels) . The system in the picture pumps out 130,000 watts. |
