Both, these two units measure different things.
- Hertz measures the frequency or pitch of the sound.
- Decibels measures the amplitude or loudness of the sound.

∙ 8y agoThe frequency of sound is measured in Hertz named after Heinrich Rudolf Hertz, the first person to measure electromagnetic waves. A single Hertz represents a single cycle per second. Humans can hear sound from about 40 hertz to nearly 15000 Hertz (also called 15 kilohertz, abbreviated as 15 Khz). Some people with exceptional hearing range may go up to 20 Khz. Some animals can hear even higher frequencies.
Decibels are a measurement of how loud a sound is. A decibel is one tenth of a bels named after Alexander Graham Bell;

What is the unit of sound to measure?
by loudness decibels by frequency hertz by wavelength any power of meter
The unit which sound is measured?
The unit for measuring the volume of sound is the decibel.
Sound is measured in what unit watts meters decibels amps?
i have no clue what the answer is..
What equipment do you used to measure sound?
Hertz is used to measure sound frequency (how high or low the sound is). Decibels are used to measure how loud or soft a sound is.
What is music hertz?
One hertz is equal to one cycle per second. The hertz is named after German physicist Heinrich Hertz (1857-1894). In the computer, 10 MHZ is ten million cycles per second. This stream of "pulses" might be used as a clock to orderly conduct a sequence of events (like run a computer program).
What is the measure of sound?
Sound is usually measured in Hertz.
What unit are sound waves measured in?
•Sound can be measured in many ways such as decibels. There is a special machine which you can by that measures how many decibels something makes. A pin makes 10 decibels where as a loud persons or a stereo can make up to 80 decibels. Volume is measured in decibels. So Frequency is measured in hertz
What are the units of measure for sound?
Sound is measured in dB ( Decibels) for intensity and or Hz ( Hertz) for frequency or pitch.
What are waves measured in?

How is sound measured?
Hertz for pitch (high or low) and decibels (dB) for volume (loudness).

Is it true that the loudness of different sounds compare in units called hertz?
No.. hertz relates to the frequency (pitch). The volume of a sound is measured in decibels.

Sound measured in?
If you would like to measure how loud the sound is, dB, decibels, would be good. To give you a rough idea, a whisper is about 30 dB, a baby crying loudly about 100 dB. Also, if you like to measure the frequency or the wavelength, you can use Hertz.
Indicate the frequency level of a sound?
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
In which the loudness of sound is measured?
Sound is measured in decibels
How do you find the intensity of sound?
in decibels and you can get hi-tech equipment that can tel you the intensity of the sound in decibels and hertz
