Whiney : I'm not saying your lieing, but. 126dB is the threshold of pain, and anything above 130 typically causes instant hearing damage. I would assume 140 if you could stand it would burst ear drums.
I don't know what kind of meter they used at our sound competition, but i was hitting 137.6db and i still have no problem hearing in the 17khz range...
