About the same.
It's cool though. The navy says they don't mind.
And people wonder why whales beach themselves.
I thought that was because of the windmills?
Actually it's due to shared gender bathroom 🤗
Yeah. I had presumed the sonar was just annoying, not body destroying.
Who fucking cares?

Well…I imagine they kind of disappear into a mist
Fun fact, sperm whales can generate a sonar click at 230dB. Decibels are a logarithmic scale so increasing by only a few dB is basically double the volume.
A sperm whale may swim past you, think you're interesting and give a little click to scan you, and basically stun or kill you instantly.
Wow. For real ???
You learn something new everyday.
But yeah, I never saw divers getting stunned/ killed even when diving near whales.
It could be that it never happened, but that's like such a high variance to have never happened.
i believe it's 6 dB is 2x the sound pressure and 10 dB is 2x the perceived volume?
Is there any example? I've never heard an organism (fish?) killed by whale sound wave like this
I couldn't find any report of a death but here is a credible source that it's possible. Sperm whales are particularly rare of course, and intelligent enough to probably know it's deadly, so it's no surprise it's rare.
