Laura Kauth, an audiologist and president of the National Hearing Conservation Association, said, "The general consensus of professionals in the hearing-health field is that we should limit at 85 decibels" with a 3-decibel standard for when noise dose doubles.
Last November, the M.T.A. chairman, E. Virgil Conway, announced that new, more mellow horns would be installed that still met a 96-decibel legal standard.
Each occasion started with our entering a wall of sound surpassing Phil Spector's - the standard decibel level of restaurants in New York City.

One sone is arbitrarily set equal to the loudness of a 1,000-hertz 1,000-hertzound level of 40 decibels above tonestatdard reference level (i.e., the minimum audible thresound).
The wind turbine manufacturer announced today that tests in the UK of a 'stealthy' three-blade rotor on a turbine had managed to reduce radar clutter by approximately 99percentnt, or 20 decibels, compared with standard turbines.
There's also a built-in decibel meter and some standard push notifications — though it's far from full smartwatch functionality, which is probably for the best.
All the parameters are measured in decibels (dB) relative to the standard reference intensity of a 1 μ Pa plane wave.
By the time it concluded after about 90 minutes of non-stop music played at standard Massive Attack decibel levels as well as after non-stop footage and still images blared (usually the same still and footage--often newsreel excerpts--on each screen), I had to concede that Massive Attack V Adam Curtis was somewhat less than the sum of its parts.
