80 dB is equivalent to 108 times the threshold of hearing. Usually 10 decibel will be the virtual silence. 80 dB will be equivalent to door slamming.

What distance is the sound intensity level 25dB?
That depends on the sound intesity level at the point of origen. Sound fall of with the square of the distance but the original intensity must be known.
What is the Difference between sound power level and sound pressure level?
Sound power or sound intensity I is a sound energy quantity.Sound pressure p is a sound field quantity.Sound intensity is sound pressure squared. I = p².See related link.
How is sound pressure converted to sound power level?
Sound power level is equal to sound pressure level and intensity level at a distance of r = 0.2821 m from the source at full sphere propagation. See related Link.
What is the unit used to measure the relatice intensity of sound?
Your ears and the sound pressure level meter "measure" the sound pressure of a sound wave. Sound intensity is measured in watts per square meter.Intensity is measured in watts per square meter.Note: Sound power (sound intensity) is the cause -and the sound pressure is the effect.The effect is of particular interest to the sound engineer.
If a sound seems to be getting louder which of the following is probably increasing intensity frequency wavelength or speed and sound?
The sound will get louder when the amplitude of the sound pressure increases. The loudness has to do with the sound field quantity called sound pressure or sound pressure level (SPL). The sound intensity or acoustic intensity means the sound energy quantity. Our ears and the microphone diaphragms are moved by the sound pressure variations.
The intensity of a sound is called is?
intensity level
What is the intensity of sound wave called?
intensity level
What is the intensity of a sound wave called?
intensity level
What is the intensity of a sound at the pain level of 120dB?
If you think the threshold of pain is the sound intensity level of LI = 120 dB than you can convert that value to sound intensity I. Reference sound intensity Io = 10^−12 W/m² (Threshold of hearing). Reference sound intensity level LIo = 0 dB-SIL (Threshold of hearing level). Get sound intensity I when entering sound intensity level LI = 120 dB. Sound intensity I = Io×10^(LI/10) W/m² = 10^−12×10^(120/10) W/m² = 1 W/m².
How does the intensity of a 40-decibel sound compare to the intensity of a 20-decibel sound?
Given: Sound intensity level LI1 = 40 dB and sound intensity level LI2 = 20 dB. Reference sound intensity Io = 10^−12 W/m² (Threshold of hearing) Reference sound intensity level LIo = 0 dB-SIL (Threshold of hearing level) Get sound intensity I1 when entering sound intensity level LI1 = 40 dB: Sound intensity I1 = Io×10^(LI/10) W/m² = 10^−12×10^(40/10) = 0.00000001 W/m² = 10^−8 W/m². Get sound intensity I2 when entering sound intensity level LI2 = 20 dB: Sound intensity I2 = Io×10^(LI/10) W/m² = 10^−12×10^(20/10) = 0.0000000001 W/m² = 10^−10 W/m². The sound intensity I1 = 10^−8 W/m² is 100 times more than the sound intensity I2 = 10^−10 W/m². The sound intensity level LI1 = 40 dB is 20 dB more than the sound intensity level LI2 = 20 dB.
What is meant by the intensity of a sound?
The loudness has to do with the sound field quantity called sound pressure or sound pressure level (SPL). The sound intensity or acoustic intensity means the sound energy quantity.
What distance is the sound intensity level 25dB?
That depends on the sound intesity level at the point of origen. Sound fall of with the square of the distance but the original intensity must be known.
What is sound intensity measured in?
Reference sound intensity Io = 10^−12 W/m² (Threshold of human hearing). Reference sound intensity level LIo = 0 dB-SIL (Threshold of human hearing intensity level). The sound intensity I is measured in watts per meter squared. The sound intensity LI level is measured in decibels (dB).
What does 70 dB sound like?
Given: Sound intensity level LI = 150 dB. Reference sound intensity Io = 10^−12 W/m² (Threshold of hearing) Reference sound intensity level LIo = 0 dB-SIL (Threshold of hearing level) Get sound intensity I when entering sound intensity level LI = 150 dB: I = Io×10^(LI/10) in W/m² = 10^−12×10^(150/10) = 1000 W/m².
How is the intensity of sound measure?
You take a measuring microphone with a sound pressure level meter.
What is the Difference between sound power level and sound pressure level?
Sound power or sound intensity I is a sound energy quantity.Sound pressure p is a sound field quantity.Sound intensity is sound pressure squared. I = p².See related link.
What is s sound level meter used for?
To measure how noisy something is.
