I know that it needs time as well, but as the pressure goes up the time might become so short that you could get hearing damage from just that momentary bang. Especially if if's so loud that they describe it with words I would not know to apply to any sound. Hence my question.
> 13. This is just conservation of energy. The initial potential energy was mass times height times gravity. Divide by the 1/20th second that it "rings" out the pressure waves (the sound), and that is acoustic power. Divide by surface area of the toilet bowl lid to get energy flux.
