How loud was the Big Bang?

I guess it depends on where you were standing, at the time...

... wait a sec...

 

You don’t hear anything at the time it happens unless it happens in your eardrums.....

 

I fired my eardrummer, a long time ago...

 

Groaaaan.

 

You forgot the eye roll...

 

Holy drop tuning, Batman! Where are we gonna find a cab to handle that?

 

Most of what you hear is in the harmonics, not the fundamental....so.....

 

Not true.

These guys take the credit for that: Disaster Area

 

In space no one can hear you bang.

 

^agreed. Pretty sure you need an atmosphere to have sound. And then, it probably depends on said atmosphere. A bass drum on an oxygen planet would sound different than a bass drum on Venus. Atmospheres being different. Assuming you could live there.

 

As loud as a tree falling in a forest with no one around.

 

...although, in fairness it could be argued that there was no "space" at the precise moment of the Big Bang. So, uh, hmm...

 

If a bang occurs in a universe and there is no one around to hear it, does it still make a sound?

Apparently, the answer is yes.

 

It's not something you should be listening to either, bunch of bleedin perverts!!!

 

What about Persis Chambatta and Stephen Collins at the end of the first Star Trek movie?

 

"How loud was the Big Bang?"
Louder than the worst lead guitar player.

 

I wouldn't be so sure of that!

 

The Big Bang used tubes instead of solid state so it was 50% louder than believed originally.

 

I'm just thankful it wasn't coming out of a folded horn enclosure.
