How to reference this medium
An aeroplane taking off causes the noise level to shoot up to as much as 130 decibels.
That clearly exceeds the pain threshold of the human sense of hearing. That is why workers at airports have to wear ear protection.
Information and ideas:
Recording to be identified by students or used for sound effects for a radio play/story.

Senses discover the environment
Games to practise using the senses
