IPL 2023: Are You a True MS Dhoni Fan?
A recent study has made fans of former Indian skipper MS Dhoni question their loyalty. According to the study, the sound made by fans present in the ground during Dhoni’s arrival to bat in IPL 2023 has been found to be a health hazard.
Star Sports Reveals Decibel Level of ‘Dhoni Dhoni’ Chants
Star Sports recently disclosed that the decibel level of ‘Dhoni Dhoni’ chants at the MA Chidabaram Stadium in Chennai was as high as 120. Comparatively, the noise generated by an aircraft carrier is only 100 decibels.
Health Experts Weigh In
Health experts have weighed in on the issue, noting that a whisper is about 30 decibels, while regular talk is about 60 decibels. A bike engine produces 95 decibels when running. If the noise exceeds 70 decibels, it may start to damage hearing over a sustained period of time. Meanwhile, noise higher than 120 decibels can cause immediate harm to the ear.
Conclusion
The recent study has revealed that the sound made by fans during MS Dhoni’s arrival to bat in IPL 2023 is potentially hazardous to health. Health experts have stated that noise higher than 70 decibels can cause hearing damage, while noise higher than 120 decibels can cause immediate harm to the ear. It is therefore important to take the necessary precautions to ensure that the noise levels remain at a safe level.
