How loud is a black hole?

A black hole isn't loud in the traditional sense because space is a vacuum, but it generates incredibly powerful pressure waves in surrounding gas, creating deep, rumbling sounds when converted by scientists, like a B-flat 57 octaves below middle C—a sound so low it's a million billion times deeper than humans can hear but indicates immense energy interacting with matter. If you were close to a black hole merger, spacetime vibrations could create a deafening noise, potentially rupturing eardrums.

Is the black hole loud?

Yes, black holes are incredibly "loud" in a cosmic sense, emitting powerful pressure waves through the hot gas in galaxy clusters, which NASA has "sonified" into audible sounds, like a deep B-flat note, but these are too low-pitched and distant for humans to hear directly without scientific translation. While space is a vacuum, the dense gas around black holes allows these massive sound waves (pressure waves) to travel, making them some of the most powerful sound sources in the universe, even though we can't hear them naturally.
 

How much is 1 minute in a black hole?

r_s is the Schwarzschild radius (event horizon of a simple Schwarzschild black hole). Ton-618 has a Schwarzschild radius of about 1300 AU. So one minute spent at 1 meter above the event horizon would be about 400000 minutes or about 0.75 days.

How many decibels would a black hole be?

A sound of 1,100 decibels would create a black hole larger than the universe. For context, the loudest sound ever recorded was the eruption of the Krakatoa volcano in 1883, estimated to have reached 310 dB.

Can 1100 dB destroy a galaxy?

Yes, theoretically, a sound of 1100 decibels (dB) (or greater) could create a black hole massive enough to destroy a galaxy, as the immense energy would convert into mass, forming a gravitational singularity that would consume everything, but this is purely hypothetical as creating such a sound is impossible with current or foreseeable technology and breaks physics as we know it.

Why is 95% of the universe invisible?

Surprisingly, normal matter turns out to be only a small fraction of what the Universe contains. 95% of the Universe is made up of dark matter and dark energy. These are words astronomers have come up with to give a name to the mysterious, invisible side of the Universe.

What would 200 decibels do to you?

Exposure to 200 decibels (dB) is lethal, causing massive internal damage like lung rupture, severe hemorrhaging, and potentially instant death, as the sound turns into a powerful shockwave, essentially acting like a physical blast that destroys tissues and organs. At this level, it's less about hearing and more about extreme air pressure damaging the body, rupturing eardrums and lungs, and causing fatal internal trauma. 

Can a human survive 1000 decibels?

Exposure to extremely high decibels (above 177 dB) in specific frequencies can cause physical harm, including erratic breathing and joint damage, but generating the level needed for lethal damage (240 dB) is nearly impossible.

How loud do you have to scream to make a black hole?

Yes, in theory, a sound louder than 1100 dB could create a black hole, though it's not physically possible to produce such a sound on Earth. The immense energy associated with a sound of that magnitude, if concentrated in a small enough area, would create enough gravity to form a black hole.

Why is 194 dB the loudest sound possible?

A sound of 194 dB has a pressure deviation of 101.325 kPa, which is ambient pressure at sea level and 0 degrees C. Thus, the sound waves are creating vacuums between themselves, and no higher amplitude is possible.

Why is 1 hour 7 years in space?

The statement that one hour in space is equivalent to 7 years on Earth is not accurate. Time dilation, a concept from Einstein's theory of relativity, does affect time in space relative to different reference frames, but the effect is typically negligible for most space travel scenarios within our solar system.

Is a black hole 100% black?

Surrounding every black hole is an event horizon: the boundary between where an object could escape from the black hole's gravitational pull and where everything irrevocably falls towards the central singularity. But despite that no objects from inside the event horizon escapes, black holes aren't actually black.

Would it hurt if you fell into a black hole?

Yes, falling into a black hole would be incredibly painful and fatal due to extreme stretching and tearing forces called spaghettification, where tidal forces pull your body apart into thin strands before you reach the center, especially for smaller black holes, though supermassive ones might allow you to cross the event horizon (point of no return) before the most intense stretching begins.
 

Is space truly silent?

Yes, there is no sound in the vacuum of space as we know it on Earth because sound waves need a medium (like air or water) to travel, and space is mostly empty. Even huge events like supernovas are silent because there are no molecules to vibrate and carry the sound. However, NASA has "sonified" pressure waves from cosmic phenomena (like black holes) into audible sounds, which is different from sound waves traveling through space.
 

Is black hole a girl or boy?

Black Hole is a male character, a minor antagonist and the elimination portal in Inanimate Insanity Infinity in an alternate universe, who makes his debut in "Alternate Reality Show". He is voiced by Christopher Schaaf.

How loud would the sun be?

The Sun is astronomically loud, producing constant roiling sounds from convective turbulence, like a rock concert or sirens, with surface noise potentially reaching 100-125 dB if audible on Earth; however, we can't hear it because space is a vacuum, and the sound is mostly infrasound (too low for humans), though scientists convert these waves into eerie, low-pitched hums.
 

Can 1100 dB destroy the Galaxy?

Yes, theoretically, a sound of 1100 decibels (dB) (though impossible to create) would contain enough energy to form a black hole so massive it would engulf the entire observable universe, thus destroying galaxies. This is based on Einstein's E=mc², where immense sound energy would convert into a huge mass, collapsing under its own gravity, but it's a thought experiment far beyond current physics. 

Is 1000 decibels possible?

No, 1000 decibels (dB) is impossible on Earth because sound in our atmosphere has a physical limit around 194 dB, beyond which it becomes a shockwave, not a sound wave; reaching such extreme levels would require energy comparable to cosmic events, like creating a black hole, and would instantly destroy everything. Decibels are logarithmic, so 1000 dB represents unimaginable energy, far exceeding the loudest recorded sounds like Krakatoa (around 310 dB) or even the universe's power output.
 

How many dB is a nuke?

The loudest human-made sounds: Nuclear Bomb (224 dB), Rocket launch (204 dB). And clocking in at 260 underwater decibels is the seismic blast, part of a process for exploring for oil and gas in the ocean.

Can a human hear 0 decibels?

The quietest sound that the average person can detect is 0dB. Not everyone with normal hearing can hear sounds at this decibel level and so a sliding scale of 0 dB to 20 dB is defined as a normal hearing threshold.

How many dB is a Taylor Swift concert?

Taylor Swift concerts are extremely loud, often exceeding 100 decibels (dB) and sometimes hitting peaks of 110-120+ dB, especially during high-energy moments, which is loud enough to cause hearing damage and has even registered as minor seismic activity (earthquakes) due to fan screaming. Ear protection is strongly recommended for fans to prevent short-term and long-term hearing loss, as levels over 85 dB can be harmful with prolonged exposure.
 

What is the loudest thing on Earth?

The loudest recorded sound on Earth was the 1883 eruption of the Krakatoa volcano, estimated at 310 decibels (dB) near the source, so powerful it circled the globe multiple times and was heard thousands of miles away as a booming cannon-like sound. While extreme sounds like nuclear blasts or large meteor impacts also register high (around 200 dB at close range), Krakatoa remains the benchmark for natural, catastrophic loudness, with its sound waves causing atmospheric pressure changes felt worldwide.
 

What dB is a chainsaw?

Chainsaw decibel levels typically range from 100 dB to over 120 dB, with gas models often hitting 110-120 dB (dangerous levels requiring hearing protection), while quieter battery-powered saws might be around 85-100 dB. OSHA recommends hearing protection for continuous exposure above 85 dB, as levels like 110 dB can cause permanent hearing loss in just minutes, making earplugs or earmuffs essential.
