A place where you can rant to your heart's content.
Rules :
- Follow all of Lemmy code of conduct.
- Be respectful to others, even if they're the subject of your rant. Realize that you can be angry at someone without denigrating them.
- Keep it on Topic. Memes about ranting are allowed for now, but will be banned if they start to become more prevalent than actual rants.

Possibly adults too. I tried to find limits, but there's many different standards. Most seem around 70 - 75 db for up to 20kHz, then wary between 85 - 110db above that, which is... quite the range.
But also, these are probably rather meant for work environments, so possibly 8h/day with ear protection. Only ICNIRP mentions limits for public, being 70db up to 20kHz and 100db up to 100kHz.
The lowest I found is quoted from USAF in this review of standards of 85db up to 40kHz.
Now, for example this piece of shit boasts 130db in 20 - 27 kHz range: https://www.leaven.com/en/product-213036/ULTRASONIC-PESTREPELLER-LS-968.html
