What year was it, again, that The Who made the Guinness Book for Loudest
Band In The World? Iirc, their decibel level was well into three digits,
reportedly louder than a 747.

Three digits isn't that loud. Even purely mechanical classical
symphonies will break 100 dB on occasion.

I don't know about the 747, but tarmac workers around the old 707s would
experience peaks of 120 dB.
