Loud sounds are thunderous noises that cause our ears to ring or vibrate. Consider how loud it is when you clap your hands or when a large truck honks its horn. Loud sounds can sometimes be enjoyable, such as when we attend a concert and hear music or see fireworks that go BOOM!
However, we must exercise caution around loud sounds because they might harm our ears if they are excessively loud for an extended period. That is why we use ear protection such as earmuffs or earplugs when we know we will be exposed to thunderous noises. So, while loud sounds can be exciting and enjoyable, protecting and caring for our ears is critical.
