I know you're being sarcastic but there's something you should know about high SPL's...
I witnessed the dismemberment of a Madagascar Cockroach from a pulsed 60kHz ultrasound source. The estimated SPL was just 188 dB. Of course the coherence length was short and the preliminary calcs were off. It was probably >200 dB but <220 dB. Those roaches are tough creatures given their size. At lower frequencies the critter could be suspended and turned around without any concern for gravity.
Sound is very interesting and something that needs to be respected especially when you get carried away.
