How loud does a sound have to be to do damage to your hearing?
90 db
What words do we use for how loud and how high or low a note is?
Decibel (dB) is a measurement of the noise level of sound.
What does 140dB equal?
dB is a measure of sound level. 140dB is extremely loud, loud enough to damage your hearing permanently and probably do other damage to your body.
What does fifty decibels sound like?
A decibel is a measure of how loud a sound (any sound) is. 50 dB is about the sound level of gentle rainfall. Louder than a quiet room, softer than a quiet conversation. Not as loud as the dial tone on a telephone.
How loud can sound be?
On Earth, somewhere in the neighborhood of 135 dB - because a sound louder than that would cause the air itself to cavitate (form vacuum pockets) which would deaden the sound.
How loud does a sound have to be to do damage to your hearing?
90 db
How loud is 1000 db?
That's the sound of the Earth disintegrating.
How loud is 60 db?
60 dB sound pressure level is about conversational speech listened in 1 meter distance.
How loud is 45 - 50 decibels?
The sound pressure of 45 dB is about a quiet library and 50 dB is about an everage home.
How loud is 69 db?
Since the db scale is relative, it depends on what 0 db means. Typically, however, 69 db is a very soft sound, almost a whisper.
What is the intesity of sound twice as loud as 60db?
About 63 db. This can be calculated with logarithms. The rule is that every factor of 10 is an increase by 10 dB.
How loud is 150 db?
The decibel (abbreviated dB) is the unit used to measure how loud a sound is. The decibel scale is a little odd because the human ear is incredibly sensitive. Your ears can hear everything from your fingertip brushing lightly over your skin to a loud jet engine. In terms of power, the sound of the jet engine is about 1,000,000,000,000 times more powerful than the smallest sound that your ears can just barely hear. That's a big difference!On the decibel scale, the smallest audible sound (near total silence) is 0 dB. A sound 10 times more powerful is 10 dB. A sound 100 times more powerful than near total silence is 20 dB. A sound 1,000 times more powerful than near total silence is 30 dB140 dB airplane taking off150 dB firecracker157 dB balloon pop162 dB fireworks (at 3 feet)
Is a three dB difference in sound twice as loud?
No, 10 dB is perceived to be twice as loud, and requires 10 times the power.Doubling of the volume (loudness) should be perceived by a level difference of 10 dB − psychoacousticians say.Doubling the sound pressure (voltage) level corresponds to a measured level change of 6 dB.Doubling of acoustic power (sound intensity) level corresponds to a calculated level change of 3 dB.Scroll down to related links and look at "How many decibels (dB) is twice (double, half) or three times as loud?"
How loud or quite a sound is?
All I can think of that you might be asking is what is it measured in, and that would be the unit of the decibel (dB)
What words do we use for how loud and how high or low a note is?
Decibel (dB) is a measurement of the noise level of sound.
What musical notes are these Db?
Db are decibels. They are measurement of sound pressure not frequency. They are not musical notes, but their intensity. Musical notes can be measured in decibels. That just tells you how loud they are.
What is the Sound in measure is what unit?
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.
