    About 133 db.

    Explanation:

    Sound Intensity Level in db (SIL db) is equal to 10log (base 10) times the ratio of the sound intensity at 200 watts (I) relative to the sound intensity of the reference sound intensity (I sub 0), which by default is equal to 10⁻¹² W/m² or 0 dB.

    I = 200 w / 10 m^2 = 20 w per square meter

    I sub 0 = 10^-12 w per square meter

    SIL = 10log (I / I sub o) = 20 / 10^-12 = 10log (20^12) = 10 (13.3) = 133 db

    Hope I typed this part correctly. Hard to get it in without being able to do exponents, etc. : D
