Can Enough Bass From A Car Stereo Hurt You? | MythBusters

Car audio enthusiasts have been claiming for years that a powerful enough subwoofer can shatter glass, disrupt human vision, and even cause physical injury to anyone caught in the sound field, and Kari, Tory and Grant decided to find out exactly where the line is between impressive bass and genuinely dangerous sound pressure, building up a competition-grade car stereo system capable of producing sound levels that required the entire test site to be cleared of non-essential personnel, mounting glass panels at various distances to test the shattering claim, and pointing the full output directly at ballistics gel and human tissue simulators to measure what sustained extreme bass actually does to a body at close range, because MythBusters never asks "how loud is too loud" without actually finding the answer. Subscribe so you never miss an experiment:    / @mythbusterstvshow   Using science as their weapon and curiosity as their fuel, Hollywood special effects experts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman spent 14 seasons and 296 episodes testing the world's most popular myths, urban legends, and movie moments. From the Diet Coke & Mentos explosion to surviving an underwater car escape — if it can be tested, they'll test it. #MythBusters #AdamSavage #ScienceExperiments
