I don't know the answer, but I wonder if anyone has actually been killed by bass?

heart failure maybe?

heart failure cause by the pain caused by a ruptured eardrum?

just a guesstimate.

We'd be able to find out if a termlab wouldn't be destroyed in the process.

Yeah there was some thing about a kid in a club in Europe. Was right in front of the cabinets, something happened with his heart. Dead. Pretty sure it was mostly due to a preexisting condition triggered by the audible variables.

Not sure about just raw pressure.

Funky Pups create DB'z, just not the kind you are thinking of. Not decibals, deathibals.

Our internal organs have a resonant frequency of 7~8Hz so if you can play that note loud enough then there's a possibility that the bass can shift your organs which ***** you up.

I'd say 160dB+ @ 7Hz would probably do it.
