NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Blasting music can be hard on the ears and
the neighbors, and now researchers say it can also pack enough punch to
collapse a lung.

Reporting in the medical journal Thorax, they describe the cases of four
young men who suffered a lung collapse -- technically called
pneumothorax --that appeared to be triggered by loud music. Three of the
men were at a concert or club when the pneumothorax occurred, while the
fourth was in his car, which was outfitted with a 1,000-watt bass box
because he "liked to listen to loud music."

One of those noise polluting idiots ?

Best thing that could have happened to him IMHO.

Anyone care to estimate the SPL in such a small enclosed environment ?

I dont think you need an SPL meter, just a barometer ( with Peak Hold
of course)

Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.
