It’s no secret that the sound of a crying baby causes parents concern, headaches and countless hours of lost sleep. But you might be surprised to learn it can set your devices off too...
The warning from Apple’s Noise app reads: ‘Loud environment: Sound levels hit 90 decibels. Around 30 minutes at this level can trigger temporary hearing loss.’
The message goes on to say repeated exposure to this level of noise can cause permanent hearing damage. Although some parents may find the alert amusing, there is evidence that the babies cry loud enough to potentially damage their parents’ hearing.kids crying at a volume of between 99-120 decibels — noisy enough to cause harm — with children aged 9 months to six years old tending to cry the loudest.
The researchers said that sound at this level ‘can cause acute discomfort and mild pain to those exposed.’For comparison, 99 decibels is roughly equivalent to the sound of an approaching train or car horn at a distance of 16 feet, according to the Centers for Disease Control.120 decibels, on the other hand, is about the same as standing next to a siren — a sound loud enough to cause pain and ear injury.
