You used the meter.
Have you done this before, do you know the procedure, as used by the Police, Transport Dept etc?
As Treeve has said below, each 3 dB increase represents a noise twice as loud, as perceived by the human ear.
You can see here, you compare to a jet fighter:

I'm glad somebody else knows this.
