A unit for measuring the relative loudness of sound on a scale beginning with 1 for the faintest audible sound.<\/p>\n
Unit of measurement expressing the intensity or loudness of sound relative to that of a standard; intensity of sound in bels is the logarithm of the ratio of the intensity of that sound and a standard sound. A decibel (dB) is one-tenth of a bel.<\/p>\n
The intensity of a sound or tone; measurement noted on audiograms and other assessments of hearing.<\/p>\n
One tenth of a bel: a unit for comparing levels of power ratios (especially sound) on a logarithmic scale. A power source of intensity P has a power level of 10 log 10 P\/P\u03bf decibels, where P0 is the intensity of a reference source. The decibel is much more widely used than the bel. Silence is db; a whisper has an intensity of 20 db, normal speech 50 db, heavy traffic 80 db, and a jet aircraft 120 db. One decibel is the smallest change in sound volume the normal human ear can detect.<\/p>\n
The unit of hearing. One decibel is the least intensity of sound at which a given note can be heard. The usual abbreviation for decibel is dB.<\/p>\n
A unit for expressing logarithmically the pressure or power (and thus degree of intensity or loudness) of sound. The dB is a tenth of a bel.<\/p>\n
The unit used to measure the loudness or intensity of sound.<\/p>\n
A method for quantifying the proportion between two magnitudes. In the context of voltage, such as in a television signal, it is equivalent to 20 multiplied by the logarithm (base 10) of the ratio between the two magnitudes.<\/p>\n
A metric utilized to quantify the intensity of sound, expressed in decibels (dB). Ordinary speech commonly falls within the range of approximately 20 to 50 decibels.<\/p>\n
A decibel is one-tenth of a bel, a unit used to measure sound intensity. It represents the smallest level of loudness at which a specific sound can be heard.<\/p>\n
