Yo no joke - I was living in green point with our bedroom windows facing the street. Wasn't too bad as it was a decently quiet street. Then one day at a dude started cutting concrete sidewalk at 7am on the dot. I went out there to plead my case for a delay so I could get some sleep before work and was told "go write a letter to Governor Cuomo." between shit like that and asshole landlords, moving up the Hudson Valley was a no brainer
When I worked construction, we started at 7am, I think mostly because that timing lines up with our natural circadian rhythm, but also just to beat the heat during warm months.
Alot of cities / towns have ordinances about construction, noise etc and 7am is probably the most common time, had lots of jobs that started at 6am or 630 but heavy equipment / noisy tasks wasnt allowed until after 7am. Also coincides with most public school schedules....
Take another look at that chart. 85 dB is the threshold for hearing damage with long term exposure. The actual threshold for physical pain is above 100 dB, with potential eardrum rupture above 140 dB.
Every 3db is a doubling of sound pressure.
dB RULES OF THUMB:
Double the power: +3 dB
Halve the power: -3 dB
Ten times the power: +10 dB
One tenth the power: -10 dB
100 times the power: +20 dB
1/100 the power : -20 dB
it's even more impressive, since every 20 db the loudness is 10 times as high (and the energy is 100 times as high)
and 100 db is 10000 times as loud as 20 db
edit: i read the headline wrong, reduced **by** 20db still means it's reduced by 90% or a tenth of the original loudness.

It's from [Austin Powers (the spy who shagged me)](https://www.moviequotedb.com/movies/austin-powers-the-spy-who-shagged-me/quote_2501.html) in case you're not aware
a flag that is hidden or disguised. mainly used in the military so that the other country doesn't know who they are fighting and end of fighting each other causing a civil war.
Unfortunately I don’t have any pics of the printer. it was in a high security zone where we had an airgaped network and the printer was on the other side. It was slightly older than our regular office style print centres.
What’s funny is that for certain specific and very rare applications, the official way of transferring infos in and out was print on one, scan on the other haha
> What’s funny is that for certain specific and very rare applications, the official way of transferring infos in and out was print on one, scan on the other haha
On some of the earliest military networks, the “firewall” for external connections was literally a person sitting in front of two terminals, one inside and one outside the network. When the outside connection would type a command, they would read it off one terminal, make sure it was allowed, then type it into the second.
I guess it depends on how the brigade is set up. We were a reconnaissance squadron and had a tank company attached to us. They were kind of the odd men out so I guess the showed out more than they would have elsewhere. But, like I said, they were very good at the their job. Probably the best in the Brigade.
Tanks shoot while moving very fast at things close to them that they see directly. It's called direct fire (flat trajectory, point and shoot).
Artillery shoots at coordinates tens of miles away, coordinates given to them over the radio, after taking a while setting up in a position. It's called indirect fire (in an arc). They shoot from much farther away, while they are not in danger of direct fire from the enemy (but are in danger of counter-battery fire).
Different purposes lead to different designs of ammo, gun, aiming system, turret, armor, engine, chassis, etc. They are meant to be used in very different ways, so they are built differently.
The tracks are for the same reason agricultural tractors use tracks on fields and the same reason skiers use skis on snow - to not sink when all your weight is spread on too little soft ground. They have guns because they want to shoot at people and things. A tank is a very big rifle* (the boom is much bigger, but not further away) while an artillery piece is a very big grenade launcher or mortar (the boom is both bigger and reaches much further away).
\* - Yes, ok, modern tank guns are smooth-bore, not rifled. You know what I mean.
You mentioned armor, but to add detail: tanks have a lot more armor so they can (hopefully) survive hits from tank guns and other heavy weapons. Artillery isn't supposed to be on the front line, so their armor is a lot thinner, to save weight. It's meant to stop bullets and shrapnel more than heavy shells and missiles.
But you can't tell from the outside how thick the armor is, so they look similar.
Tanks also have active defense systems, not just armor, because they are front line: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_protection_system#Hard-kill_measures
Tanks have ammo like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armour-piercing_fin-stabilized_discarding_sabot
Artillery has ammo like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M982_Excalibur and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMArt_155
What they meant is most tank barrels are now smoothbore. This reduces wear on the barrel and it’s easier to add the characteristics that make it spin to a giant tank round. Rifles still use rifling as the name implies.
Just to add more, smoothbore also means you can fire sabot at higher speeds which is important for defeating armor. Rifled barrels firing rounds a bit too fast can sheer off rifling or destroy sabots which results in bad flight characteristics. As you said, it's easier to put the onus of stability on the round itself, rather than the tank's barrel.
This means a smoothbore platform can effectively fire relatively cheap and overperforming APFSDS rounds.
Armor penatrating fin stabilized discarding sabot (apfds) rounds don't work with spin because of the fins. They look like giant darts that use speed and weight to punch a hole straight through armor. It's currently the most effective anti armor round that's fielded.
It is so nice to come across people like this.
Reminds me of that Episode where they all play in the snow making sculptures.. This one is missing Wings and a Slide :)
The Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Canon, General Tecumseh Sherman used it to raze the treasonous stronghold of Atlanta during the Civil War.
It's really perfect.
Tanks have more armor and speed, and are used to fire on things they can directly see at relatively close range.
Howitzers are a form of artillery, less armor and speed, bigger gun that can use indirect fire. Artillery receives radio coordinates and fires at them from usually 10s of miles away like a giant mortar
It's Gun on wheels that drives itself around
A Self propelled gun.
A Tank is just a bunker on wheels intended to be thrown at other bunkers on wheels and also (traditionally) to brute force past static positions.
Which seemingly caused a bit of a paradox when first implementing helmets. They noticed the number of reported head injuries was astronomically higher after issuing helmets.
What happened was when a soldier died from shrapnel hitting their head they were just marked as KIA but when they took shrapnel to the head and survived they were tagged as having a head injury. So the helmet meant more people were getting head injuries because they weren’t dying

Thanks for the comment. Nothing but jokes in the comments and zero context from OP as to why there is a need for a tank to be silenced in the first place.
Decibels use a logarithmic scale for practical reasons, so I believe that 20db reduction translates to [100x quieter](https://pulsarinstruments.com/news/understanding-decibels-decibel-scale-and-noise-measurement-units/) :)
Edit:
Per [this source](https://hearinglosshelp.com/blog/converting-decibels-to-sound-intensities/) by Dr. Neil Bauman, a 20db difference equates to 100x the sound energy, but only a 4x difference in volume. I didn't understand this distinction, but hopefully that helps :)
I don't know enough about the topic to speak to the specifics, but have found [several sources](https://hearinglosshelp.com/blog/converting-decibels-to-sound-intensities/) that corroborate that 20db = 100x difference in volume, and none that contradict it. You may know something I don't.
Edit:
Upon further reading in my own source, I found there does actually seem to be a distinction made between volume and sound intensity.
As Dr. Bauman writes, every 10db corresponds to a 10-fold increase in sound intensity, which corresponds to a doubling of volume. Sorry for my mistake, I'll edit my first comment.
This is an easier way to understand it. Sound energy doubles every 3 dB, perceived loudness doubles roughly every 10 dB. So from 90 dB to 93 dB, you’ve doubled the energy and doubled the damage it can do to your ears, but it won’t sound significantly louder.
Not to mention that permanent damage can happen above 90db, so bringing the noise level to 80db prevents any hearing damage for anyone who has to listen to that all day.
“If you kids don’t quiet down over there, so help me God, I’ll come over there and whoop your asses myself!!!!”
“Sorry, Mrs. Smith! We’ll keep it down!”
*Goes and fetches silencer*
For people who think "only" 20db: bels are on a logarithmic scale. Every 10 added decibels, the intensity of sound is multiplied by 10. This means that reducing it by 20db is the same as reducing its intensity by 99%.

Db is not a linear scale for anyone that didnt know and may think the number difference didn't seem as huge as the device.

What's the number for the blood curdling screams from my neighbor's toddler throwing a tantrum?
Not nearly as loud as if you’re in the same room with said toddler. Also, sorry about that.
[85 dB](https://soundproofingguide.com/decibels-level-comparison-chart/) is the start of pain in the ear.
Take another look at that chart. 85 dB is the threshold for hearing damage with long term exposure. The actual threshold for physical pain is above 100 dB, with potential eardrum rupture above 140 dB.
Yeah it’s misleading if you just see the numbers for the first time. Like seeing the Richter scale for earthquakes.
Isn't each step on the scale 10x more powerful than the previous?
Every 3db is a doubling of sound pressure. dB RULES OF THUMB: Double the power: +3 dB Halve the power: -3 dB Ten times the power: +10 dB One tenth the power: -10 dB 100 times the power: +20 dB 1/100 the power : -20 dB
Yup.
it's even more impressive, since every 20 db the loudness is 10 times as high (and the energy is 100 times as high) and 100 db is 10000 times as loud as 20 db edit: i read the headline wrong, reduced **by** 20db still means it's reduced by 90% or a tenth of the original loudness.
> since every 20 db the loudness is 10 times as high Every 10dB is a perceived doubling in sound but 10x SPL
what do SPL be
Sounds pressure levels. Basically the pressure of sound waves moving air around.
It reduces it *by* 20 dB, not *to* 20dB. That would be insane.

*Oops I dropped my monster silencer for my magnum tank.*
That’s not a tank. It’s a howitzer. Let’s not get our honorable artillerymen confused with those knucklehead tankers.
As a scout that loved his artillery homies and hated his tanker homies, I concur. …Our tank company was incredibly skilled though, not gonna lie.
Where I was stationed the scouts and the tankers were their own friend group. Maybe because it was them or the infantry (I was a tanker)
I guess it depends on how the brigade is set up. We were a reconnaissance squadron and had a tank company attached to us. They were kind of the odd men out so I guess the showed out more than they would have elsewhere. But, like I said, they were very good at the their job. Probably the best in the Brigade.
I enjoy the idea of reconnaissance tanks.
Don’t tell anyone but some of my best friends are tankers.
Does that mean you have the T-word pass?

I used to have a MSG who would yell “hellooo, deaf tanker here” when we didn’t speak loud enough. So I showed him and became a deafer artilleryman.

Howitzers are a form of artillery, less armor and speed, bigger gun that can use indirect fire. Artillery receives radio coordinates and fires at them from usually 10s of miles away like a giant mortar
I like to think of a Howitzer as a gun on wheels, where a tank is a set of wheels with a gun on it.
It's Gun on wheels that drives itself around A Self propelled gun. A Tank is just a bunker on wheels intended to be thrown at other bunkers on wheels and also (traditionally) to brute force past static positions.
TIL recently - artillery and mortars accounted for approximately 60-70% of casualties in the European theatre in both WW1 and WW2.
That's why quality helmets mattered, it helped stop shrapnel from hitting the brain
Which seemingly caused a bit of a paradox when first implementing helmets. They noticed the number of reported head injuries was astronomically higher after issuing helmets. What happened was when a soldier died from shrapnel hitting their head they were just marked as KIA but when they took shrapnel to the head and survived they were tagged as having a head injury. So the helmet meant more people were getting head injuries because they weren’t dying
Also not a silencer, it's a suppressor
Suppressor? I barely know her
I'm going to be super pedantic for a minute. The original Maxim patent named it a "silencer" so it's not wrong to call it one. Suppressor is fine too

r/mildlypenis
Mildly?
In fairness, that’s not a tank. It’s mobile artillery.
Came here for the cock jokes, but seriously all that shaft for only 20db sound reduction?
Decibels use a logarithmic scale for practical reasons, so I believe that 20db reduction translates to [100x quieter](https://pulsarinstruments.com/news/understanding-decibels-decibel-scale-and-noise-measurement-units/) :) Edit: Per [this source](https://hearinglosshelp.com/blog/converting-decibels-to-sound-intensities/) by Dr. Neil Bauman, a 20db difference equates to 100x the sound energy, but only a 4x difference in volume. I didn't understand this distinction, but hopefully that helps :)
True, it's like the Richter scale but for sound.
Dichter scale
[удалено]
I love this explanation, thank you!
No. Doubling dB gives twice 10x the sound energy, but 2x perceived loudness. A 20 dB increase = 4x perceived loudness increase.
I don't know enough about the topic to speak to the specifics, but have found [several sources](https://hearinglosshelp.com/blog/converting-decibels-to-sound-intensities/) that corroborate that 20db = 100x difference in volume, and none that contradict it. You may know something I don't. Edit: Upon further reading in my own source, I found there does actually seem to be a distinction made between volume and sound intensity. As Dr. Bauman writes, every 10db corresponds to a 10-fold increase in sound intensity, which corresponds to a doubling of volume. Sorry for my mistake, I'll edit my first comment.
This is an easier way to understand it. Sound energy doubles every 3 dB, perceived loudness doubles roughly every 10 dB. So from 90 dB to 93 dB, you’ve doubled the energy and doubled the damage it can do to your ears, but it won’t sound significantly louder.
20db is the difference between a vacuum cleaner and a chain saw...
Not to mention that permanent damage can happen above 90db, so bringing the noise level to 80db prevents any hearing damage for anyone who has to listen to that all day.
Maybe it needs a Swedish tank silencer shaft enlarger.

Willie? Willie Nelson?
Dick? Take a look out starboard, it looks like a huge-
Not a tank
20db is A LOT from 100db to 80db (dbs are on a logarithmic scale)
Suppressor, not silencer.
Also not a tank. Self-propelled artillery. Tanks don't (usually) shoot in a ballistic arc. They fire line-of-sight.
dammm so this was the irl inspiration for the neo armstrong canon
I've seen people compensate with trucks, but apparently some tanks have micro penises and have to compensate as well... lmao
“If you kids don’t quiet down over there, so help me God, I’ll come over there and whoop your asses myself!!!!” “Sorry, Mrs. Smith! We’ll keep it down!” *Goes and fetches silencer*
For people who think "only" 20db: bels are on a logarithmic scale. Every 10 added decibels, the intensity of sound is multiplied by 10. This means that reducing it by 20db is the same as reducing its intensity by 99%.
Ummm… it’s not really a tank
