July 11, 2009: WOOF @ 108db

Daz, the world's loudest dog, barks his way into the Guinness World of Records.

Quote:
There is no need for a doorbell on Peter Lucken's bungalow.
When you live with a dog that barks louder than a pneumatic drill, then your pet does the job instead.


Quote:
Daz set the first record for a dog bark - there was no previous mark - at an event organised by Disney
to promote the DVD of Bolt, about a dog which thinks he has super-canine powers.
So he won a contest, but (there's always a but ) it included only a handful of the world dog population. Therefore
Daz shouldn't worry about over exposure and make all he can from his fame, as this record may not stand for long.

My dog can only bark at 107 db. I guess that makes him a sub-woofer.

Perhaps I am confused but that doesn't look like a bungalow to me.

For comparison, 107 decibels is roughly equal to standing 3 feet from a power mower. That's a loud ass dog.

Pooka LOL'd at ZenGum. And now, an 110db burp:

Does to me. A bungalow is a ranch-style house i.e. one level (British dweillings don't usually have basements).

Another fact, an increase in 3 db is a doubling of output, so actually more than a little louder than a mower.

Also, gotta say, I'm still laughing at the subwoofer comment.

ZenGum is probably the funniest one here. Like, clever funny.

Er, that would be an increase of 10 db to make something twice as loud. You're talking about acoustic power, which doubles at 3 db increments, but does not translate to being heard as twice as loud by human ears.

Acoustic power is measurably doubled at exactly 33.3~% intervals from human hearing? What an amazing coincidence.

That's what they say. To be honest, I don't know much about that area of things because it's live performance stuff. I don't care how much power something generates, I only care what it sounds like coming out of your computer or game system.

Not sure where you came up with the 33.3% figure -- decibels measure a ratio on a logarithmic scale:

db = 10 x log (A/B)

for a doubling of power, A/B=2, so

10 x log(2) = 3.010299

which is almost always rounded off, hence "3 db"
