Solution

The loudness of a sound that a person can withstand without discomfort is about 80 dB.

Explanation:

Sounds beyond 80 dB are responsible for noise pollution and can start to affect our hearing ability, causing annoyance and potential discomfort. Normal human tolerance without discomfort typically caps around this level, as higher levels can lead to hearing damage and other health effects.
