Best Answer

The weighting filter A takes off low frequencies. So the measured value in dBA must be less than in dB.

Look up at "A-weighting - Wikipedia".

What db does hearing damage begin at?

When your ears get more then the loudness of 85 dB for a longer time it is dangerous.


When does the level of sound become bad for hearing?

85 dB is bad for extended periods (8 hours). 100+dB is bad nearly instantly.


What level of sound is Dangerous?

A dangerous sound is anything that is 85 db (decibels) or higher.


How do you explain noise greater then 85-90 decibels can cause loss of hearing?

That tells it all: "Permitted Noise Exposure Time Guidelines - SPL" Sound pressure level Lp and permissible exposure time t: 115 dB = 0.46875 minutes (~30 sec) 112 dB = 0.9375 minutes (~1 min) 109 dB = 1.875 minutes (< 2 min) 106 dB = 3.75 minutes (< 4 min) 103 dB = 7.5 minutes 100 dB = 15 minutes 97 dB = 30 minutes 94 dB = 1 hour 91 dB = 2 hours 88 dB = 4 hours 85 dB = 8 hours 82 dB = 16 hours Lower dBs are said to be harmless.


Short term exposure to noises at 85 decibels or higher can cause what?

You can damage your hearing. It depends also on time. "Permitted Noise Exposure Time Guidelines - SPL" Sound pressure level Lp and permissible exposure time t: 115 dB = 0.46875 minutes (~30 sec) 112 dB = 0.9375 minutes (~1 min) 109 dB = 1.875 minutes (< 2 min) 106 dB = 3.75 minutes (< 4 min) 103 dB = 7.5 minutes 100 dB = 15 minutes 97 dB = 30 minutes 94 dB = 1 hour 91 dB = 2 hours 88 dB = 4 hours 85 dB = 8 hours 82 dB = 16 hours Lower dBs are said to be harmless


What is the ordinary and maximum tolerance limit of sound by human beings?

70db to 85 db (decibel)


Db is the unit of sound level please tell you full form of the same?

Db stands for "decibels".


What is OSHA's noise limit?

Effectively, OSHA has two noise limits that apply simultaneously. First, employees may not be exposed to a full-shift (8-hour) time-weighted average noise level of 90 dB (deciBells) or more. This translates to a limit of: 90 dB averaged over an 8 hour day, or 95 dB for 4-hours as long as the rest of the day does not involve exposure to noise greater than 90 dB, or 100 dB for 2 hours, 105 dB for 1-hour, 110 dB for 30 minutes, 115 dB for 15 minutes, and no continuous noise louder than 115 dB In addition, employees who have 8-hour exposures of 85 dB or more must be placed in a Hearing Conservation Program and, in some cases must be provided with hearing protection. The table is a bit different because sounds from 80 dB and above are used in the assessment. This translates to a criterion level of: 85 dB averaged over an 8-hour day, or 90 dB for 4-hours for 4-hours as long as the rest of the day does not involve exposure to noise greater than 80 dB, or 95 dB for 2 hours, 100 dB for 1 hour, 105 dB for 30 minutes, 110 dB for 15 minutes


Is the key of Db and d major the same?

No, Db has 5 flats whilst D major has 2 Sharps.


What is the maximum permissible intensity of sound?

"Permitted Exposure Time Guidelines - SPL" Sound pressure level Lp and permissible exposure time t: 115 dB = 0.46875 minutes (~30 sec) 112 dB = 0.9375 minutes (~1 min) 109 dB = 1.875 minutes (< 2 min) 106 dB = 3.75 minutes (< 4 min) 103 dB = 7.5 minutes 100 dB = 15 minutes 97 dB = 30 minutes 94 dB = 1 hour 91 dB = 2 hours 88 dB = 4 hours 85 dB = 8 hours 82 dB = 16 hours Lower dBs are said to be harmless. PS: Eardrums are moved by sound pressure deviations.

Exposure time is usually expressed in units of?

Time is usally expressed in hours, minutes, or seconds. "Permitted Noise Exposure Time Guidelines - SPL" Sound pressure level Lp and permissible exposure time t: 115 dB = 0.46875 minutes (~30 sec) 112 dB = 0.9375 minutes (~1 min) 109 dB = 1.875 minutes (< 2 min) 106 dB = 3.75 minutes (< 4 min) 103 dB = 7.5 minutes 100 dB = 15 minutes 97 dB = 30 minutes 94 dB = 1 hour 91 dB = 2 hours 88 dB = 4 hours 85 dB = 8 hours 82 dB = 16 hours Lower dBs are said to be harmless
