Thanks Herman, I knew there was a log function involved somewhere here...It would be interesting to hear something as loud as 180 db...Isn't the atmospheric pressure something like the equivalent of 164 db? I have heard that the human ear can even become more sensitive if isolated. If you were put into a room with no sound you would quickly be able to hear blood flowing through your body, and air particles brushing your ear-drum. If you were left there for a period of time, you may even be able to tell the changes in atmospheric pressure...
Food for thought,
