A sound so loud it instantly boils water
Researchers [...] created an underwater sound so loud that it instantly vaporizes water and appears to set the threshold for how intense sound can be in water.
[...]
In other words, yes metal-heads, it is possible to rock so hard that you instantly boil water. In case you're wondering, the sound pressure equivalent of this experiment is 270 decibels. That's louder than a rocket launch and equal to the intensity of directing all the electrical power in an entire city onto one spot.
If you ever were to experience such a sound directly, ear plugs wouldn't help because the intensity would not only rupture your eardrums, but probably your heart and lungs as well.
