There is not a set level for everyone. It is recommended that a sound level of 90 decibels not be continued longer than 8 hours. Also, OSHA prohibits exposure to sounds louder than 115 decibels without hearing protection.
Yes a greater magnetic field would alter the sound produced and (if other factors remained the same) the effect required by the amplifier to reach a given sound pressure level.
Given: Sound intensity level LI1 = 40 dB and sound intensity level LI2 = 20 dB. Reference sound intensity Io = 10^−12 W/m² (Threshold of hearing) Reference sound intensity level LIo = 0 dB-SIL (Threshold of hearing level) Get sound intensity I1 when entering sound intensity level LI1 = 40 dB: Sound intensity I1 = Io×10^(LI/10) W/m² = 10^−12×10^(40/10) = 0.00000001 W/m² = 10^−8 W/m². Get sound intensity I2 when entering sound intensity level LI2 = 20 dB: Sound intensity I2 = Io×10^(LI/10) W/m² = 10^−12×10^(20/10) = 0.0000000001 W/m² = 10^−10 W/m². The sound intensity I1 = 10^−8 W/m² is 100 times more than the sound intensity I2 = 10^−10 W/m². The sound intensity level LI1 = 40 dB is 20 dB more than the sound intensity level LI2 = 20 dB.
Given P = 100 watts. Reference sound intensity Po = 10^−12 W. Reference sound intensity level LPo = 0 dB. Get power level LP in dB when entering sound power P in watts. Power level LP = 10×log (P / Po) dB = 10×log (100 / 10^−12) = 140 decibels (dB).
The decibel meter is better known as a sound level meter. You can measure sound by a microphone and a vu meter, a peak meter, or a AC voltage meter. The reading given by such a meter does not correlate well to human-perceived loudness.
Compare Sound power, Sound pressure, and Sound intensity. All share as level the same unit of measure: the decibel (dB). The term "sound level" is commonly substituted for each. As characteristic impedance of air we use the round value Z = 400 N·s/m³ (Pa·s/m). Then the "sound level", that is the sound pressure level Lp and the sound intensity level LI is exactly the same as a decibel value. The sound power or acoustic power is the sound energy constantly transferred per second from the sound source. A sound source has a given constant sound power that does not change if it is placed in a different room environment. Sound power is a theoretical value that is not measurable. It is calculated and expressed in watts and as sound power level LW in decibels. A sound source produces sound power and this generates a sound pressure fluctuation in the air. Sound power is the distance independent cause of this, whereas sound pressure is the distant-dependent effect.
There is not a set level for everyone. It is recommended that a sound level of 90 decibels not be continued longer than 8 hours. Also, OSHA prohibits exposure to sounds louder than 115 decibels without hearing protection.
The instantaneous sound pressure is the deviation from the local ambient pressure po caused by a sound wave at a given location and given instant in time. The effective sound pressure is the root mean square of the instantaneous sound pressure over a given interval of time (or space). Total pressure is given by: p-total = po + p-osc where: po = local ambient atmospheric (air) pressure, p-osc = sound pressure deviation. The standard atmosphere is a unit of pressure and is defined as being equal to po = 101325 Pa. Sound pressure level (SPL) or sound level is a logarithmic measure of the effective sound pressure of a sound relative to a reference value. It is measured in decibels (dB) above a standard reference level. The commonly used reference sound pressure level in air of 0 dB is equivalent to the sound pressure of p = 20 µPa RMS, which is usually considered the threshold of human hearing at 1 kHz. The threshold of of pain has a level of about 137.5 dB equivalent to a sound pressure of 150 Pa.
Slash and burn does not sound helpful, it sounds harmful.
Given: Sound intensity level LI = 150 dB. Reference sound intensity Io = 10^−12 W/m² (Threshold of hearing) Reference sound intensity level LIo = 0 dB-SIL (Threshold of hearing level) Get sound intensity I when entering sound intensity level LI = 150 dB: I = Io×10^(LI/10) in W/m² = 10^−12×10^(150/10) = 1000 W/m².
it is very harmful to your poo
Sound level meters are instruments that measure the sound pressure level. Sound level meters, or sound meters are commonly used in noise pollution studies, examples are industrial spaces, environmental spaces, and aircraft spaces.
Sound power level is equal to sound pressure level and intensity level at a distance of r = 0.2821 m from the source at full sphere propagation. See related Link.
Usually sound pressure level (SPL) in decibels (dB) is meant. A sound level meter is an instrument which measures the sound pressure level. The reading from a sound pressure level meter (SPL meter) does not correlate well to human-perceived loudness.
Yes a greater magnetic field would alter the sound produced and (if other factors remained the same) the effect required by the amplifier to reach a given sound pressure level.
There are two parameters regarding hearing ranges. One is frequency range, and the range of hearing is measured in Hertz, which is cycles per second. Another variable is the threshold of hearing. In other words, how loud does a sound at a given frequency have to be to be heard. That sound level is measured in decibels with respect to a reference level. The threshold level will vary with the pitch (frequency) of the sound, as you might have guessed.
Loud sounds can be harmful as it damages the ears and the brain.
