If a mouse click is about 52 dB, how loud would a million mice be if they were all clicked at the same time

158000 x 1e6 = 1.dB = 10 log 1.about as loud as a jet engine.But you could never get 1 million mice in a small volume, so the sound will be more diffused, and the number a lot lower.......

I don't think it's just 52dB, and I may have my terminology incorrect (loudness vs. pressure vs. intensity), but I'm trying to see if it's the same as, say, a thousand jet engines or something.

assuming this is dB SIL (Sound Intensity Level), reference to 10^-12 W/m²

then 52 dB is:
52 = 10 log r
r = 158000
multiplying by a million, this is
158000 x 1e6 = 1.6e11
converting back to dB
dB = 10 log 1.6e11
dB = 112 dB
about as loud as a jet engine.

But you could never get 1 million mice in a small volume, so the sound will be more diffused, and the number a lot lower.
