technologyvista: European Space Agency Has A Sound System That Can Kill You Easily For those of you who don’t know, sound can kill at high levels. Sound greater than 135 decibels can be lethal. Luckily our MP3 players and household speakers can’t produce sound levels that high. But a killer sound system does exist and it’s owned by the European Space Agency. The monster sound horn owned by the agency is the most powerful of its kind in Europe. It is impossible for anyone to survive the sound of the horn once it’s turned to full volume. The horn is a part of the ESA’s Large European Acoustic Facility (LEAF), which is a test chamber for performing acoustic noise tests on spacecrafts to make sure that they do not incur any damage during launch.
