Some Drilling Two Rooms Away... Could It Cause More Damage?

[Mario martz]

So, there was some drilling in my parents room, two rooms or one away from mine,
and I didn't know...

The noise was a little too intense, and unexpected. As soon as I could I covered my ears.

The drilling was not long though...

SO...

Do you think it could cause more damage u___u

I know some people find this kinda questions irritating, but I'm only 6 months in, so I don't know... please have some sympathy.
and i have heard hand drills are almost 95db
ohh god the saga continues.. lol

I can tell you from personal experience that it can cause damage.
It happened to me so at least it's an isolated case, but 95db is 95db.
Had a spike the night after the event. Pretty bad.
Loaded up on NAC (600mg in the night, 600 in the morning and some insane amounts of betamethasone for 3-4 days (32mg-32mg-16mg morning-noon-night, last day 16mg-8mg-8mg taper). Orally, obviously.
For comparison reasons , 32mg betamethaaone is about 180-200mg prednisone so use with caution. It's a huge dose. Magnesium I didn't use.
After 4-5 days I was back to baseline.

I doubt you would have got the full 95 db if it was a couple of rooms away. The walls would have modulated the frequency of the sound a bit too I suspect. Don't worry too much about things that haven't yet happened. It doesn't help.

Remember that stating a dB value without a distance attached to it is useless.
To get an idea of sound levels, take a look at this page.

If you want to talk about a dB rating, state the distance to the source. So if your drill is 95 dB at a distance of 3 feet, then it's 89 dB @ 6 ft, 83 dB at 12 ft, 77 dB at 24 ft, and much less if you have sound absorbing material in between (as OP described).
Walls are typically a lowpass filter, which is why you can clearly hear the bass drum when there's a party next door.

Walls are typically a lowpass filter

Had to quickly look that up and....yeah.
