at what dB does the air ignite from the vibration of molecules

edit: okay so air does not ignite, but allows other things to ignite, but methane is one of those things in air so I reformulate the question as such:

what pressure of air is needed to produce sufficient heat to ignite any methane trapped within it, and what dB level is needed to form such compression even if for mere nanoseconds?

While sound can't travel through a vacuum, the vibrations of the sun create a "sound" energy equivalent of 290dB.

What happens to pressure waves above that? The air liquifies or plasmafies?

And definitely scare off the tigers

I just fucking KNEW that some nerd would turn up and explain that to me.

Ta.

Oh yeah? Then why didn't it destroy Gotham City? Checkmate.

You won't hear it coming

Are you a fellow PAG/NAG calculator, too?

More cursed knowledge (for them, probably not you): it's logarithmic so every 3dB increase is double the energy!

Which one is babybel?

sea scallops have hundreds of eyes which disappear when cooked

Oh god how have I never realized this. You monster!

Also, it's crazy to me that we still use the normal metric prefixes for a logarithmic scale!

That may actually explain the "Bell" enemies in Vintage Story. Noisy assholes.

That's how many tacobel?

So Batman was trying to annoy the tiger away? I think more likely the schlock tv 60s kids show writers just had no idea what they were talking about

Wouldn't that be a bit low? I haven't seen the show but I assume its something humans can't hear but tigers can. Although it is much more reasonable than the insane 20000 db they claim.

Given that audio was going through changes from using physical denominators to using db as a standard, this might have confused them

More like "relativistically"

Either you or the other guy is off by about 500 orders of magnitude.

The writers for the show weren’t too concerned with scientific accuracy. It’s intentionally silly.

Matter energy equivalence, and the fact that decibels are a logarithmic scale. I found a reddit reply (I know, I know) that someone has done the math on, though I haven't checked if it's right. Anyway, it said:

20,000 decibels is 10^1997  watts, which is 10^1997  joules/second.

I think we can use P = p²/Z, where Z is 415 kg/m²s (impedance of air), to correlate our power P and the pressure p. So, p = sqrt(P/Z) which is still going to be on the order of 10^997  pascals.

The threshold we care about is 10^32  pascals, which is the pressure at which neutrons overcome their "degeneracy pressure", a pressure which prevents them from being too tightly packed. So, yes, that could collapse matter into black holes for sure for sure, since we're beating it by 965 orders of magnitude. Also, the pressure inside the sun is roughly 10^16  pascals.

Because sound is waves. You can feel your chest pounding when you're standing next to a loud speaker during a live concert. Energy from a 20000dB "source" would create an unimaginable blast wave.

What color is a hole?

well I don't see any black h
