what do you guys think about this..

This research allows us to know we can allow 95-100 db sustained with a peak, lasting no more than 5 minutes, of 105.  Anything above this would lead to hearing and property damage in a room the size and with the acoustic structural

  Hello,

  Noise restrictions are a great idea. (I sometimes have to remind my neighbors of who can produce the highest spl, it usually brings their noise level down)

  While I agree that sustained high levels of sound pressure can affect hearing and can cause permanent damage,  I find it hard to believe that any study has ever shown that a sustained pressure level of 105dB has ever caused property damage.

  It would be in the 150db + range

Incredibly useful in college dorm rooms and apartments.

Did you leave out a link?  Is the second part a statement by someone else that you were quoting?  Without the supporting research and knowing factors such as what dB (dBu/dBV/dBSPL/dBLEQ/etc.), at what frequencies, if the values are  A/C/X weighted, where the measurements were made and so on then it is just some numbers with no apparent basis or meaning.
