Your ears and the sound pressure level meter like more the sound pressure of a sound wave.
Note: Sound power (sound intensity) is the cause -
and the sound pressure is the effect.
The effect is of particular interest to the sound engineer.

What is the amplitude of a sound wave a measure of?
The amplitude of a sound wave is the measure of the intensity of the sound, such as loudness.
A decibel is a unit used to measure the?
decibels measure the intensity of sound.
How is the intensity of sound measure?
You take a measuring microphone with a sound pressure level meter.
Is a measure of a sound waves intensity?
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 is the unit used to measure the relatice intensity of sound?
Your ears and the sound pressure level meter "measure" the sound pressure of a sound wave. Sound intensity is measured in watts per square meter.Intensity is measured in watts per square meter.Note: Sound power (sound intensity) is the cause -and the sound pressure is the effect.The effect is of particular interest to the sound engineer.
What is the name of the unit used to measure the intensity of a sound?
a decibel
What is a unit used to measure the intensity of sound called?
decibel
What is a decibel level?
A unit used to measure the intensity of a sound or the power level of an electrical signal. Someones voice could raise by a decibel.It is used to measure the sound intensity and loudness.
Compare and conyrast loudness and intensity?
Sound intensity or acoustic intensity can be calculated from the objective measurement of the sound pressure. The loudness is a psycho-acoustic subjective feeling, which is difficult to measure.
When intensity increases does the loudness stay the same?
No. Sound intensity or acoustic intensity can be calculated from the objective measurement of the sound pressure. The loudness is a psycho-acoustic subjective feeling, which is difficult to measure.
What is the measure of the intensity in sound waves?
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 (measured in W/m²). Our eardrums and microphone diaphragms are moved by sound pressure deviations (p), which is a sound field quantity (measured in pascals Pa). So we measure the sound with a SPL meter (Sound Pressure Level) in decibels.
What is most often used to measure the intensity of a sound?
The intensity of sound is most often measured by the Decibel meter. It can also be called the sound level meter or the dB Meter. It is used to accurately and objectively measure the sound or noise that one can hear.
