100 times intensity.


What does the term decibel mean?

Decibel is a measure of sound and is logarithmic, meaning 50 decibels is twice as loud as 40 decibels.


Which is louder 60 or 70 decibels?

40 dB gain change should give about the ratio of 16 for sensed volume and loudness, 40 dB gain change gives the ratio of 100 for measured voltage and sound pressure and 40 dB gain change gives the ratio of 1000 for calculated sound power and acoustic intensity. Go to the link: Subjectively perceived loudness (volume), objectively measured sound pressure (voltage), and theoretically calculated sound intensity (acoustic power).


Decibels are a measuremeant of what?

Decibels are a measurement of the loudness of sound.


Which is sound measured by watts meters amps or decibels?

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


How does the intensity of a 40-decibel sound compare to the intensity 20-decibel sound?

100 times. Each bel (10 decibels) is ten times as loud thus 20 to 40 is 100 times.


Loudness or sound level is measure in units called?

decibels


How loud is 35 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.


In which the loudness of sound is measured?

Sound is measured in decibels
