Here's a helpful chart:

At 100dB, a safe dose is about 15 minutes. Blowing horns all day for weeks on end poses a significant risk of severe hearing loss. Per affected person, a hearing loss payout can be up to around $100k. Given the ~1M people in Ottawa, I would expect the physical damage to persons in the area to exceed the millions of dollars in your "[usual] large-scale protest."

I see, it was ignorant of me to dismiss that harm, edited my reply to reflect my understanding.

Thanks for the perspective.
