Here's a table with examples of typical db(A) levels for some events, for instance "fire cracker explodes at shoulder: 170 dB(A)". Search for "Typical dbA levels". http://www.sengpielaudio.com/TableOfSoundPressureLevels.htm
There's a lot of other interesting stuff there too. For example that a non-distorted sound cannot be louder that 194dB, because that corresponds to the average air pressure. Search for "How many decibels is the loudest noise?". Also don't forget that according to Fletcher-Munson you can only hear 20kHz at 120dB, which happens to be the threshold of pain.
