    Is a black whole capable of destroying the universe now?

    Like I get that 20,000 dB is physically impossible but so is good tasting bubble gum and that wouldn’t destroy the universe.

      The energy release in one second of sound is many orders of magnitude more than the energy we believe exists inside the observable universe.
      The resulting black hole would be bigger than the observable universe.
      It may even be bigger than the whole universe, don’t want to keep calculating though.
