Sound intensity or acoustic intensity (I) is defined as the sound power Pac per unit area A. The usual context is the noise measurement of sound intensity in the air at a listener's location as a sound energy quantity.

Our eardrums and microphone diaphragms are moved by sound pressure deviations (p), which is a sound field quantity. So we measure the sound with a SPL meter (Sound Pressure Level).

What are non musical sounds?

Non-musical sounds are auditory phenomena that do not have a structured pitch or rhythmic pattern typically associated with music. These include everyday sounds such as speech, environmental noises like traffic or wind, and mechanical sounds like machinery or alarms.

They play a significant role in communication and the perception of our surroundings.
