Hi everyone,
Today I took the train to school, and when I got out I had to walk under a small bridge that the train passes over. Just as I walked out from underneath it, the train blasted its horn. I had a dB meter app running on my phone, which showed a maximum of 86 dB at the moment it happened. I know that is not very loud for a short sound, but I am worried the measurement might not have been accurate because the train was behind me to my left, while my phone was in my right hand.
Can someone give me advice on how to handle this, and whether it could be damaging? Any advice would really help.
