PRACTICE SAFE SOUND
Continuous exposure to sound pressure levels over 100dB may
cause permanent hearing loss. High powered auto sound systems
may produce sound pressure levels well over 130dB. Use common
sense and practice safe sound.
PRATIQUEZ UNE ÉCOUTE SANS RISQUES
Une exposition continue à des niveaux de pression acoustique
upérieurs à 100 dB peut causer une perte d’acuité auditive
permanente. Les systèmes audio de forte puissance pour auto
peuvent produire des niveaux de pression acoustique bien au-delà
de 130 dB. Faites preuve de bon sens et pratiquez une écoute sans
risques
PRACTIQUE EL SONIDO SEGURO
El contacto continuo con niveles de presión de sonido superiores
a 100 dB puede causar la pérdida permanente de la audición. Los
sistemas de sonido de alta potencia para automóviles pueden
producir niveles de presión de sonido superiores a los 130 dB. Aplique
el sentido común y practique el sonido seguro.
PRAKTIZIEREN SIE SICHEREN SOUND
Fortgesetzte Geräuschdruckpegel von über 100 dB können beim
Menschen zu permanentem Hörverlust führen. Leistungsstarke
Autosoundsysteme können Geräuschdruckpegel erzeugen, die weit
über 130 dB liegen. Bitte wenden Sie gesunden Menschenverstand an
und praktizieren Sie sicheren Sound.
OSSERVATE LE REGOLE DEL SUONO SENZA PERICOLI
La costante esposizione a livelli di pressione acustica al di sopra dei
100dB possono causare la perdita permanente dell’udito. I sistemi
audio ad alta potenza possono produrre livelli di pressione acustica
ben superiori ai 130dB. Si consiglia il buon senso e l’osservanza delle
regole del suono senza pericoli
