Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Поріг болю" in Ukrainian language version.
The upper limit for a tolerable intensity of sound rises substantially with increasing habituation. Moreover, a variety of subjective effects are reported, such as discomfort, tickle, pressure, and pain, each at a slightly different level. As a simple engineering estimate it can be said that naive listeners reach a limit at about 125 dB SPL and experienced listeners at 135 to 140 dB.
the threshold for pain is between 120 and 140 dB SPL.
A nominal figure for the threshold of pain is 130 decibels ... Some sources quote 120 dB as the pain threshold
