Watching it isn't, yet the hearing damage is still there if you are not careful

The Competition aspects of car audio cannot be denied. Should there be mandatory hearing protection required by all participants at any event governed by a sanctioning body, if OSHA limits are exceeded?

Anything over 120db can damage hearing instantly. According to the Occupational Safety and Heath Administration, if the TWA (Time Weighted Average) noise level is exceeding 85 dB(A), a hearing conservation program is required.

OSHA's Permissible Noise Exposure:

90 dB - 8.0 hours

92 dB - 6.0 hours

95 dB - 4.0 hours

97 dB - 3.0 hours

100 dB - 2.0 hours

102 dB - 1.5 hours

105 dB - 1.0 hours

110 dB - 30 minutes

115 dB - 15 minutes

but of course, if we all lived by this, then one would need earplugs to go with a good case of the farts.

Calling car audio a sport is like calling chess or math contest sports.
