It's the sound pressure deviation we measure as sound pressure level (SPL). The threshold of pain is known in acoustics as the lowest strength of a stimulus that is perceived by the ear as painful. Because of the different sensitivity of the hearing of people it cannot be given an accurate value. You can find the following rounded values for threshold of pain in various audio articles and books:
140 dB SPL equivalent to 200 Pa
137.5 dB SPL equivalent to 150 Pa
134 dB SPL equivalent to 100 Pa
130 dBSPL equivalent to 63 Pa
120 dBSPL equivalent to 20 Pa
Sound pressure levels more than 140 dB at your ears will burst your eardrums.
Don't forget that the distance from your ears to the sound source is very important. So keep off.

How loud are 125 decibels?
Take it from a former club DJ and an audio enthusiast. 130dB is dangerously loud. You shoud not subject your ears to this level of sound for more than a minute, or two max. This level of sound can inflict PERMANENT damage on your hearing. The thing about hearing is that once it is damaged, it does not "regorow", so to speak. The louder the sound, the shorter the time you should hear it. If you are subjected to sound at 140+ dB, your hearing will be damaged immediately and permanently. Do not shoot guns without ear plugs, and do not blast your music until it literally hurts. To summarise, once you damage your hearing, it will stay tat way. It's a one-way street.
Why do loud sounds damage ears?
