Bel or decibel.
Just like any other substance in existence, the magnitude of sound or loudness can also be measured. In this case, the standard unit of measurement for loudness is called decibels.
Loudness of sound: Loudness is that characteristic of sound by which we can distinguish between a loud and a faint sound.It depends upon amplitude, area of vibrating body, intensity and condition of ear. Intensity of sound: Sound energy flowing per second through a unit area held perpendicularly to the direction of sound waves is called the intensity of sound.Its unit is W/m2.
The psychoacoustic loudness N is measured in sones. The loudness level (Volume) LN is measured in phons. Scroll down to related links and look at "Conversion of sone to phon and the problem with dBA".
yes it is a unit of loudness
Decibel:a unit used to express the intensity of a sound wave, equal to 20 times the common logarithm of the ratio of the pressure produced by the sound wave to a reference pressure, usually 0.0002 microbar.1928, coined from L. decibus "tenth," from decem "ten" + bel unit for measuring sound, after Alexander Graham Bell.
Decibel
Decibells, the more decibells the louder the sound is, the lesser decibells the softer the sound is.
The unit for measuring the volume of sound is the decibel.
1.The unit of sound is bel 2.watts is the loudness/power.3.Often mentioned as decibel ( 1/10 th of bel) depending on which quality of sound you are measuring
The most common unit of sound loudness is the decibel (dB).
Units used to measure loudness are Sone (loudness N) and Phon (loudness level L). Scroll down to related links and look at "Loudness - Wikipedia" and "Sound level change and the change of the respective factor of volume and loudness"
You don't. Hz (always capitalized) is the unit for measuring frequency or pitch. dB is the unit for measuring amplitude or relative loudness of the sound. You cannot convert a frequency measurement to an amplitude measurement.
The loudness of sound is measured using the "decibel" or "bel" unit.
Just like any other substance in existence, the magnitude of sound or loudness can also be measured. In this case, the standard unit of measurement for loudness is called decibels.
Decibels
dicibels is the unit that measures the loudness of sound.
A decibel is a unit of measurement which is used to indicate how loud a sound is. Continuous exposure to sound above 80 decibels could be harmful. a unit for measuring the loudness of sound (deci- + bel unit of sound power (20-21 centuries), from Alexander Graham Bell (1847-1922), US inventor). Unit for measuring the relative intensities of sounds or the relative amounts of acoustic or electric power.what is the decibel means.
