As you've probably heard by now, the GoFundMe campaign to reach $8,000 to bring the Guinness people to the Ralph Wilson Stadium on Sunday was not only reached but surpassed!

(Excess funds are going to benefit Hunters Hope.)

To beat the record, we'll need to beat the Chiefs, who are at 142.2 decibels.

SO....how loud IS 142 decibels?  Lets put things in perspective....

  • If you were standing next to an aircraft at takeoff -- 180 dB
  • If you were standing next to a pneumatic rock drill -- 130 dB (anything over 130 can cause ear damage)
  • If you were standing next to a home lawn mower -- 100 dB
  • If you were standing in normal street noise -- 70 dB
  • If you're in a normal private office -- 40 dB (clearly, we are NOT "normal"...lol!)

So, Bills fans, we need to be louder than a turbo jet (150 dB) to break the record....I think we got it.
