Probably bad for your hearing too (piefedimages.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com)
 

For reference, the loudest sound ever on earth was 180dB https://wikipedia.org/wiki/1883_eruption_of_Krakatoa

Fun fact. Adam West Batman has an audio communicator capable of producing "20,000 decibles', while this is only used to scare off a tiger, this would realistically be powerful enough to create a black hole and destroy the universe

Approximately. It differs a lot and the upper limit goes down with age. It also depends on loudness. I could hear up to around 16 kHz in my early twenties. I doubt many adults would hear 20 kHz, unless it was very, very loud.
