Frequency is usually not measured in "levels" (though the sound pressure or volume is) Frequency is measured in Hz (Hertz) or vibrations per second.

Sound pressure is measured in Decibels

What term is used to indicate the frequency level of sound?

a. pitch


What is frequency level of sound?

All levels are measured in decibels (dB). Sound level means always sound pressure level.There is the most important sound pressure level SPL, measured with a SPL meter.There is the particle velocity level.That are sound field quantities.There is the sound intensity level.There is the sound power level.There is the sound energy density level.That are sound energy quantities.


How loud a sound is depends on the wavelength of the sound?

The level of the sound or the amplitude of the sound has nothing to do with the wavelength. Speed of sound c = wavelength λ × frequency f.


The pitch of a sound is the distance from the sound source?

The pitch of a sound means the frequency. That stays constant with distance. You mean the sound pressure level that decreases with distance.


What are hearing ranges measured in?

There are two parameters regarding hearing ranges. One is frequency range, and the range of hearing is measured in Hertz, which is cycles per second. Another variable is the threshold of hearing. In other words, how loud does a sound at a given frequency have to be to be heard. That sound level is measured in decibels with respect to a reference level. The threshold level will vary with the pitch (frequency) of the sound, as you might have guessed.


What is the difference between loudness and frequency?

loudness is the level of sound source while frequency define the repitition rate of that sound source. NAVNEET KUMAR,SRFTI,KOLKATA, email add: kmr_verma@yahoo.com


How i can measure sound frequency from sound level meter?

You just need a meter that measure Hertz (high and low) as well as db (volume)


The term is used to indicate the frequency level of a sound.?

Tough one! You see, there is a term for both thefrequency and the level. The most common term for the frequency would be the "Pitch" of the sound, and the frequency unit of measurement is the Hertz (cycles per second) or Hz. It is an accepted standard that the average Human can hear a spectrum from 20Hz (really low pitch) to 20kHz (really high pitch). The level of sound is commonly referred to as the "Loudness" and is measured in Decibels (db) and the most common measuring device is called an SPL (sound pressure level) Meter. So...If you were describing, lets say, a very loud "A" note above middle "C", the description could look like this; 440Hz @ +110db. Dave Bowling (db)


Do sound waves increase or decrease above sea level?

The sound has really nothing to do with sea level, but changes with temperature alone. The speed of sound goes up when the temperature goes up and goes down when the temperature goes down. The frequency of sound columns, like of woodwinds or of church organs changes with temperature. If the temperature increases, the frequency increases also.


What is the unit for measuring the relative intensity or loudness of sound?

Loudness N is measured in in sones.Loudness level LN is measured in in phons.Sound pressure level is measured in dBSPL, where the reference level of 0 dBSPL is the threshold of hearing.The ear drums and the microphones are only sensitve to the sound pressure.We measure the sound pressure with a sound level meter.Loudness is affected by sound pressure, frequency and its bandwidth, and duration (time).Usually sound is measured in Decibels.


Which characteristic of sound depends upon frequency?

frequency is the pitch of a sound


What does the frequency of sound measure?

The frequency of sound is measured in "Hertz (Hz)".
