Test would be to record someone shouting from a few feet away. Quiet speech may not reveal any damage, but louder [yet within tolerance] sound may show signs. | |

In terms of 'sound engineering' you can get mics that can handle 158dB SPL or so, but a jet engine is going to be pushing that or more, so you're up into rarified territory, something like the B&K 4938-A-011 which is good to an incredible 172dB, but I have no idea what these cost. I've used their studio mics, which are stunning... & expensive. | |

I don't think any microphones and handle more than 150dB (SPL). It's generally accepted that every time you double the distance from the source you get a 6dB degrees in the sound level. So if you are 5 meters away at 150dB then going to 10 meters will give you 144dB etc. You may need to further your distance until it is at a level the mics can handle. | |
