Default Electret and loud music

Is it possible than loud music and sounds in night clubs could damage
electrets mics from mobile phone ?


From a theoretical perspective it is entirely possible, a big enough
compression wave (sound is one type) can break just about anything.

Is the limit of actual mobile phone
is near 95 db SPL ?


Almost certainly not. What more likely happened (if it did indeed occur at
the same time) is that your friend got a wee bit too drunk and spilled her
150 proof "water" on it, ran into something, or heaven forbid dropped the
phone when she was hugging the sidewalk.
