Loud music at concert
A week ago at work someone dropped a 5-feet rectangular steel tube onto a concrete floor. I was standing about 20 feet away and it made a very loud, metallic, reverberating bang on impact. Like someone hitting a hammer on a steel beam with full force. It was weird how I could feel the sound reverberate in my teeth.

How loud is something like this? My tinnitus has been spiking ever since. I've read that such sounds can easily reach 130 decibels.
