A range of everyday sounds and how loud they appear to be. [for the gunshot - a similar sound would be a car or m/bike "back-firing" - a sharp, short & loud burst of sound]. HSE legislation in the UK mandates wearing ear protection at 80 - 85dB in industrial settings. tbh I usually wear ear defenders when using the vacuum cleaner, especially in a small room ! www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crmjdm2m4yjo not my image : fair use & public education
