Sound is measured in decibels with a decibel meter. It is a logarithmic scale. The scale is in multiples of 10. 20 decibels is 10 times greater than 10 decibels. 30 decibels is 100 greater than 10 decibels and 10 times greater than 20 decibels.

I assume the type of sounding is that of measuring the depth of water, usually to test the draft under a boat when in the shallows. Before echo sounding the tradition was a knotted rope normally knotted every six feet (one fathom)

There are several things you can measure about a sound. Being a wave, you can measure its speed, wavelength, and frequency, as well as the total power, or the intensity (power per unit area).
