There are no noise-cancelling headphones to stop the U.S. Navy’s 235-decibel pressure waves of unbearable pinging and metallic shrieking. At 200 Db, the vibrations can rupture your lungs, and above 210 Db, the lethal noise can bore straight through your brain until it hemorrhages that delicate tissue. If you’re not deaf after this devastating sonar blast, you’re dead.

So what about fish and sea life?

Fun fact, sperm whales can generate a sonar click at 230dB. Decibels are a logarithmic scale so increasing by only a few dB is basically double the volume.
A sperm whale may swim past you, think you’re interesting and give a little click to scan you, and basically stun or kill you instantly.

Yes. But in the same way being hit by a train causes hearing loss.

So about half the volume of my upstairs neighbours

In the Navy’s latest environmental impact statement draft, they admit that the sonar exercises planned for 2014-2018 may unintentionally “harm marine mammals 2.8 million times over five years.” This estimate is up about 150,000 instances a year from their EIS statement of 2009-2013. Included in this estimate are two million incidents of “temporary hearing loss,” and 2,000 are targeted for permanent hearing loss.
So is that how it went? How have things gone in the ten years since this article was written?

On account of being dead? Yeah.

That’s one of the symptoms, yes.

Yes, we won’t be hearing from them again.
rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 1 year ago
There was a diving team outside.

One. Ping. Only.

They are shark chum now.
BaroqueInMind@kbin.social 1 year ago
I read that as "shark cum" and was about to figure out a way to hit someone across the back of their head over the internet.
SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Hey that could be a whole new superhero backstory; a group of divers get hit with a nuclear submarine SONAR pulse and turn into shark cum.
I’m copyrighting the idea right now.
Triple_B@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
Is that the Nautilus? SONAR hasn’t looked like that in a while. Also, they dead.
DarkMessiah@lemmy.world 1 year ago
That diving team just fought Sindel and lost harder than MK9.
HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
porque dead?
RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Sonar use actual sound waves to find things, and the intensity of it is so great that it can kill you. Basically, your brain explodes from how powerful it is.
HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
gotcha, thanks!
ivanafterall@kbin.social 1 year ago
Good news is you know exactly where they are.
Enzy@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Here and there

I think the liquified corpses are going to stay inside their wetsuits

I would like to know where you exactly are
