What if we cannot hear the tornado siren?

Tornado FAQs - Middle Tennessee State University
As a Building Runner, you will receive a “Take Shelter Alert” via email, and you should take action. As far as an “All Clear,” as a rule of thumb, wait 20 minutes, then call Public Safety (2424) to make sure it is all right to send people back to their offices and classrooms. If you have a weather radio in your office, you can take your cues from that regarding a warning and an all-clear.

Why is the tinnitus loud when I wake up in the morning?

Tinnitus SA
The most likely explanation is that your ears have become slightly blocked over-night, when you haven’t been swallowing regularly to refresh the air in the middle ears. This blockage causes a slight hearing loss and increases your attention to internal sounds instead of external sounds. As your ears unblock, the loudness of the tinnitus may decrease. We have a constant stream of self-talk - thoughts and images which go through our minds during waking hours.

Why do people hear ringing after leaving a loud rock concert?

FAQ
After leaving loud rock concerts, many concert-goers often complain of ringing in their ears. The ringing sound is a result of the destruction of the cilia by the high-volume sounds. Resonating objects often end up damaged or destroyed. Cilia resonate when a sound reaches the hair’s natural frequency. If the sound is extremely loud and goes on for some period of time, it can cause destructive resonance to the cilia and kill it – the ringing sensation is actually the cilia dying.

Q1: Since the 866F is installed inside the seat of the bike, can you hear the siren well?

CYCLONE FAQ
In our opinion, yes. CYCLONE produces a very high frequency sound that penetrates the seat and can easily be heard from several yards/meters away. The siren blast is not as loud as an average car alarm (making CYCLONE significantly less irritating to your neighbors), but loud enough to alert others to a theft attempt. And to further reduce noise pollution, the 866F has a "soft chirp" feature which drops the volume of confirmation chirps several dB from the full siren blast.

Why do I hear a siren sound when I try to place outgoing calls?

Frequently Asked Questions
More than likely the phone call you made did not go through to the person you were trying to reach. Try your call again, this time make sure you hang the phone up for at least 5 seconds before picking up the phone and stay on the line for your call to be connected. Frequently, if a person dials too fast, our phone doesn't hear all the digits and returns the siren tones. Slow down the dialling slightly and the call will probably go through.

How do we hear?

Hearing is a series of events in which the ear converts sound waves into electrical signals and causes nerve impulses to be sent to the brain where they are interpreted as sound. The ear has three main parts: the outer, middle, and inner ear. Sound waves enter through the outer ear and reach the middle ear, where they cause the ear drum to vibrate. The vibrations are transmitted through three tiny bones in the middle ear called the ossicles.

Staintune pipes decibel range will vary depending on the bike, and whether or not you use the sound restrictors. On average, as a general rule, the pipes run in the low 90's with the restrictors in place and just over 100 with the restrictors removed. This is a general rule of thumb and can vary up or down depending on the individual bike. A Ducati twin will definitely be more heart and ear pounding than an inline four BMW. The design of the engine can vary the number a few decibels +/-.

We play traditional instruments including acoustic bass - so there's no rock bass and drum to worry about! We can play an acoustic set - i.e. without a PA system. However, this is only suitable for very small venues. We normally use a high quality PA and play at the appropriate volume given the audience and venue - we will always turn it down (or up!) if asked! We are happy to discuss our PA requirements with your venue management in advance of the event.
