Sperm Whale can make 200+ dB sounds. Wouldn’t that make whailing/scientific research extremely deadly?

Aparently 180 dB causes eardrum rupture and intense pain and thus is extremely deadly.

For comparison’s sake, Krakatoa volcano’s eruption was measured at around 183dB.

Anyone have any good whale sound playlists on Spotify?
