The Earworm Podcast - Episode 3 Loud Noises! Krakatoa and the Pistol Shrimp Po'Boy

In this episode, Bryan and Patrick dive deep into the science of sound — starting with history's loudest recorded event: the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa, which reached over 180 decibels and was heard 3,000 miles away. From there, they explore how decibels actually work, debunking the common myth that a 100-watt amp is twice as loud as a 50-watt one — spoiler: it's only a 3dB difference. The guys also get into nature's wildest audio weapons, including the pistol shrimp's 218-decibel snap, and wrap up with a look at how sound has been weaponized through technology like LRADs. Ear protection not included.Bryan's new record just hit too.  Check it out!  https://music.apple.com/us/artist/madrigals-for-mongrels/1771659673Support the showSupport the page and join the Wormhole!!  Donate to https://www.buzzsprout.com/2598511/support to help us do more!!Cool gear giveaways to begin soon!https://www.instagram.com/theearwormpodcast/https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61588628882466https://www.youtube.com/@the-earworm-podcasthttps://theearwormpodcast.buzzsprout.comwww.bryanclarkmusic.comwww.modernmusicmasters.comwww.cloudcreativemgmt.com
