    OP didnt ask for frequency depending pressure, only average pressure aka dB.

    If he had mentioned that i had answered different.
    If you solve the wave equation for 4d space and put it into your room, of you will see that you interferences which can cancel out at certain frequencies, but you would also hear that without any hardware meters.
    If you want perfect go with headphones i think, therefore no room treatment needed.

    This gave me strong Arrival (2016, the movie) vibes :rofl:

    The funny thing is the movie is deep enough. But people went wild on the net making up complicated theories. It's just a fucking poison detector dudes, take a break... :lmao:

    Today 1971, A Pink Floyd Concert Killed All The Fish In A Nearby Pond.
    May 15, 2019


    Pink Floyd was handed a bill after killing hundreds of fish in a London pond during one of Floyd's outdoor concerts in 1971, allegedly because of the band's extremely loud volume.

    The location was the Crystal Palace Gardens — the former location of the Crystal Palace, a holdover from the World’s Fair era which featured huge statues of Egyptian sphinxes, giant water towers, and fountains that shot water hundreds of feet in the air. In other words, your typical, tripped out Pink Floyd concert venue. After the demise of the eponymous Crystal Palace, the site became the location of choice for many cultural functions. This gave rise to the Crystal Palace Garden Parties, a series of Woodstock-like events held between 1971 and 1980, featuring powerful live acts such as The Beach Boys, The Faces, Elton John, Lou Reed, Santana, Bob Marley, Joe Cocker, and, of course, Pink Floyd.

    Our story begins on May 15, 1971, with the night’s event featuring Floyd as the headliner, supported by Mountain, The Faces, and Quiver.

    A Shrimp That Can Kill With Sound Is Named After Pink Floyd
    It has nothing to do with a persistent urban legend, however.

    Legend has it that the band Pink Floyd once played so loudly at a show that the sheer volume had killed all the fish in a nearby pond.

    Now there's a new species of shrimp, named after Pink Floyd, that can kill fish by making a loud noise. Synalpheus pinkfloydi rapidly opens then snaps closed its large claw, creating a sound that can reach up to 210 decibels — louder than a typical rock concert and loud enough to kill small fish nearby.

    It turns out, however, that its new name has nothing to do with that urban myth about Pink Floyd's volume. Dr. Sammy DeGrave, head of research at Oxford University Museum of Natural History, says the inspiration for the shrimp's name was really the color of its claw: pink. "The reference is to the line, 'By the way, which one of you is Pink?' from the song 'Have A Cigar'," DeGrave told NPR when reached over the phone. "The story is when Pink Floyd first went to America, people thought one of the band members was actually named Pink. A reporter asked, 'Which one of you is pink?" so that's what stuck in our mind and that's where [the name] came from."

    DeGrave said he'd never heard the story about the deathly loud Pink Floyd concert. "Yeah," he says, "that doesn't really sound possible."


    He's probably right. The story has endured over the years in no small part because of Nicholas Schaffner, who wrote the biography A Saucerful Of Secrets: The Pink Floyd Odyssey. In describing a 1971 show at London's Crystal Palace, Schaffner says, "The performance climaxed with the emergence of a fifty-foot inflatable octopus, shrouded in dry ice, from the little lake separating the audience from the stage, while fireworks exploded overhead. Unfortunately, the music's volume was such that the real fish in the lake expired from the trauma." The more likely cause of death, in retrospect, was the dry ice the band dumped in the water, and the underwater explosive flares used to inflate the Octopus.

    This is 20 dB. Anything louder then crosses that threshold.

    Be kind to your ears.
