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 is the loudnes in decibels of a sound 22 trillion times as loud as the softest audible sound?

I believe the softest audible sound would be about 0 decibels. Therefore, take the logarithm (base 10) of 22 trillion, and multiply the result with 10.


Can you measure decibels by numbers?

Decibels are measured by numbers - on a logarithmic scale. An increase of 10 bels equals a doubling of the volume of sound.

in decibels and you can get hi-tech equipment that can tel you the intensity of the sound in decibels and hertz


Can you measure sounds?

Sound is measured in decibels with a decibel meter. It is a logarithmic scale. The scale is in multiples of 10. 20 decibels is 10 times greater than 10 decibels. 30 decibels is 100 greater than 10 decibels and 10 times greater than 20 decibels.
