The only thing louder than the Missis in our house, when She's yelling; are the Kids, when She's trying to sleep!

I couldn't hazzard a guess as to exactly how many db were talkin', but a jet engine in a closed test cell at 25 cm can be pretty loud too! But what's even louder is an APU doing forced compressor stalls during set-up!!
Think: Aak aak nozzle at 3 cm!

Speaking of fireworks, I finally heard some useful safety information on the radio yesterday. Over the last holiday weekend (May 24 - Victoria Day) we had a lot of fires in Toronto, many related to setting off fireworks in downtown areas of old houses (duh !!).
The station I was listening to seemed to have given up on the "children shouldn't play with fireworks" and "don't shoot roman candles at your friends" rules, but offered this little gem :
"If your kids are going to play with fireworks and shoot roman candles at each other, MAKE SURE THEY PLAY OUTSIDE."
There's some advice you can take to the bank...

I'm planning on going to a fireworks show Monday night... it's only a half block away and I figured I'd take some photos.
I can bring my RS meter to report back. No big whoop to throw it in one of the camera bag pockets...

Sweet.....I look forward to hearing the results on the fireworks.
And if anyone wants to report back on the misses SPL levels as well, that would be interesting too.

What is the proper way to measure the misses with an spl meter? C-weighted with a slow response or A-weighted and fast? Should I point it right at her or at a 45 degree angle from the listening position?
