No, as noted dB is a logarithmic scale, not linear. 60dB sounds twice as loud as 50dB, so six 50dB fans is in theory only about 75dB.Mooker said:Interesting. After wut you guys told me i'm guessing that 6 50db fans wouldnt equal 300 db, right?

heh... Drop a 2000 watt 300db stereo with a tape full of white noise on the enemy
They already developed this weapon, but it was banned under the "strange weapons treaty" they discovered it caused 'nad mutations so it was cruel and unusual!ButcherUK said:
Where would you find something capable of producing that? In a way they have found it, a device codenamed "the H-Bomb"

Tbird man said:at that point standard speaker construction would not work i suspect you would need some sort of pezio-eletric type of speaker even than i doubt anything man could make would survive the incredible stress on the system. The milatary is experamenting with several nonliethal wepons one of which uses extreamly low frequency sound waves to casuse disorentation and even loss of bowel control.(yes their is actually a so called "brown noise") they are also testing a wepon that uses a low intensity microwave transmission to cause extreame disablitating pain (like being cooked in a micro wave)
JigPu said:Yes... Quite literaly ripped limb from limb. I believe that at appx 180dB death occours. 300dB would be so insanely loud, a 10dB increase (as has been mentioned many times before) doubles the power of the sound wave. So, 300-180=120dB. So basicaly, you are looking at 2^12 (4096) times as powerfull a wave.
Now be thankful you Delta is nowhere near that loud
