it takes 270 decibles to reach 500 joules, so probably not very high in attack potency...
what you should be more interested in is how this attack is made, because to make a sound as loud as 230 decibles you need A mother ******* nuclear bomb.

That's strange.
Because DCEU Batman's profile states that his 300 decibel sonic cannons have Low 7-B Attack Potency.

Probably because the person who made the revision didn't bother to check up on how decibels worked and instead said "oh well it's so much superior to a normal 15 KT nuke that produces 230 Decibles, it should be Low 7-B!" Even when theoretically the amount of force that'd have to be used to contain 300 decibels would be into tier 6. And even then, decibels work in a... strange way I can't recall the term for. The difference between 230 Decibels and 270 Decibels is several hundred, maybe even low thousands, in terms of how many nukes you'd need to detonate to get that level of sound.
Obviously, in terms of producing that much sound, it'd be the thing you should be LEAST worried about, because while it only takes 200 Decibels to kill a person(AKA a World War 2-era tactical ******* carpet bombing) it does that by eviscerating the organs, what Batman'd do with that shit is literally turn the entire area into a ******* wasteland with gooey things that used to be humans and animals being all over it! His ******* arms would be blown off and the device would explode 5o the point where it'd take out at LEAST half of America.

One way or another, I don't think so. Just to go from the difference of one nuke(230 Decibels) and the 300 decibels of Batman's device, 10000000 nukes would be detonating in whatever he made.
Holy mother ******* shit on Christ on a Harley.
Don't **** with decibels. Every 10 decibels multiplies the power by 10. So... yeah. Holy ****. Do not let Batman use that shit or he will literally destroy the entire continent and maybe some of the other continents. He might end the ******* world with the pull of a Trigger.

I did the math, I was overstating it a bit, but holy ****, Batman literally needs High 6-C prep for his 150 gigaton AT BARE MINIMUM sound gun. ******* hell. Suicide attack much?

I'm very confused right now.
Earlier you said that 270 decibels is only about 500 joules of energy correct?
- 40,713
- 35,260
Yes, but that is just from the sound alone. Not from what caused it. 230 decibels is from a nuclear warhead. It'd take 10000 of those same nuclear warheads to produce that 270 decibels.
This is what I said before, and I meant it, you want what made the sound in the first place, becuase the sound is the least of your concerns.
- 32,811
- 38,016
Yeah, and then he said that on its own is not the right way to calculate the feat. We should more so look towards what made that loud of a sound in the first place.
- 10,332
- 4,442
Couldn't Batman theoretically make a direct energy to sound converter?
- 40,713
- 35,260
Even making the sound in the first place would apsolutely require the 150 Gigatons of energy. He'd literally need a bunch of High 6-C shit to pull it off.
- 40,713
- 35,260
Lemme guess, he has some decibel statements

So theoretically if I could shout at 230 decibels (assuming I was immune to the effects of my own powers) that wouldn't yield anything impressive AP wise?
- 40,713
- 35,260
nah, you'd kill every living thing that can hear for a mile or two because of the abhor mentioned evisceration of organs due to the waves, but the actual force used to release that kind of sound would look a little like this.
- 40,713
- 35,260
TLDR: Sound doesn't have good AP, what makes it at levels like 300 Decibels absolutely does.

I really don't mean to be a bother but I'm having a tough time comprehending what you mean by all of this.
230 decibels by itself doesn't have good AP but the energy need to produce those decibels is enough force to destroy a town?
Can you explain to me why creating the 230 decibels of sound is more powerful than the decibels itself?
- 10,332
- 4,442
Aight then
- 10,332
- 4,442
If you use sound waves to contain a nuke, would the thing that produced it be an even bigger nuke?
- 40,713
- 35,260
That is indeed a good question, and one I don't have a solid answer to, I'm not too far into the science of Decibels and sound, only that making them at extremes like 230 requires nuclear warheads and some other fun facts. However Sound has limited dura neg to its name at 200 onward due to the waves of them evicerating organs.
Depending on if your just magicing it into existence or not, yes, whatever your using would explode spectacularly if the nuke didn't destroy it before it even got the chance to have its fun.

Echo Echo is High 8-C via scaling. When scaled backwards, how loud are they (in dB)
Echo Echo

What's the equation to get joules out of decibels? I want ti calc a sound that destroys the universe lmao
- 40,713

Sound levels are generally expressed in decibels, which are logarithmic and so cannot be manipulated without being converted back to a linear scale. You must first antilog each number, add or subtract and then log them again in the following way:@DaReaperMan How do I even calculate this shit?
For example, adding three levels 94.0 + 96.0 + 98.0:

- 9,429

so this character has a machine capable of generating 1 musical note*100Billion times.
how high would it be?

Taking advantage of the topic, does anyone know how many decibels a High 6-A explosion would be?
I'm asking here because, as much as I've researched myself, I haven't found a formula to calculate this, at least not one that I understand.

You can convert Decibels into Watts using this calculator
then you can convert watts into joules with this calculator
www.rapidtables.com
if you want to find how much sound a specific level of energy deals.
Then you do the inverse
joules to watts
watts to deciebels
at least thats what i assume.
DB ↔ Watts Calculator - Calculator Academy
Enter the total dBm into the calculator to convert to units of watts.
