The decibel level during a severe thunderstorm is (d) 130 dB

• Decibel is the unit to measure the intensity of sound. Human ears can only hear sounds ranging between 0 to 140 decibels.
• Sound ranging in decibel higher than 85 can cause damage to the ear and result in loss of hearing. Other problems that accompany are headaches and nausea.
• 80 decibel sound is produced by a police siren, 50 decibel sound is produced by heavy rainfall and 0 decibel sound is silence.
