Again, this is not an accurate statement!
"...
All other States..." is a perfect example of hyperbole, because you know that the 49 remaining States use a variety of methods...although each year more convert to what Representative Whalley is attempting, with some of those States having absolutely no decibel related requirements whatsoever!
I have said my piece on this legislation, and will not get dragged into a meaningless point-counterpoint debate.
I would only ask that you stop making these bold, innacurate and sweeping accusations that are easy to debunk. They only cheapen intelligent debate while unnecessarily damaging the credibility of the writer. You know and are better than that!

Ah, again, be careful in making generalizations. In my younger and crazier days I spent six years active duty "punching holes in the ocean" courtesy of Uncle Sam and the USN while serving as a sonar supervisor aboard several fleet ballistic missile boats (submarines)....and a like many years in the USNR as an acoustic analyst with an MIUW unit. You don't even want to get me going on decibels, SPLs, upascals, water density, absorbtion...refelction...multipathing...layer scattering ad-nauseum. I will conclude only by stating that Daver and Woodsy would make much better "junior sonarmen" with their more accurate grasp on the physics of sound...
Anyway, I've said my piece and will gracefully bow out here, with my offer of continued discussion always available off-line....
Have a good day & be safe,
