Don’t change the oil, don’t wash it, wonder why your car in a POS in 3 years. Funny, the micro and macro have very similar outcomes…

When you write 1e9 times louder you are comparing sound power, not pressure, and the reference pressure for dB in water is 0dB=1e-6 Pa, different to air where 0 dB =2e-5 Pa. So that really big number is really a lot smaller, just 10,000 I think. Couple of points.

He’s going to come back and kill everyone anyway right, so why not deafen some dolphins in the meantime?

It’s never pointless. There are thousands of fake fires, fake flooding, fake missile emergencies, fake nuke casualties and all too real field days to address.

I highly doubt a supertanker is just making a whisper as it plows the waves. Heck, Greenpeace's own "protest boat" is a diesel blue-smoke emitting garbage scow painted green with a big rainbow decal. I doubt its got quiet tech on the props. If you want to make the oceans quiet for the cetaceans, you basically need to call it a day on active propulsion of ships, and stop pretty much all international trade. Ironically, the only boats that pass the quiet tests are the ones that hide from sonar, principally SSBN's that sail around aimlessly waiting for the go-order to blow a continent's worth of cities away. Ah, but the whales will hear WWIII from the safety of the quiet depths! Noise pollution in the drink has been around since heat-cycle propulsion took to the water.
