If you mean the sound pressure level that causes pain, it is about 120 dB SPL.

Why there is a clipping in the signal output when you change the attenuation from 20db to 0 db in function generator?
A: Clipping only occurs if the input surpasses a threshold like the Vbe of a transistor. The 20 Db is really a change3 in voltage of a 100 that is not a small change
If transmitter power is increased from 200 Watts to 400 Watts how do you convert to Db form?
Decibels (db) is relative power, log base 2, times 3. Increasing power from 200 watts to 400 watts is doubling power, so the decibel change is +3 db.800 watts would be +6 db, 1600 watts would be +9 db, 100 watts would be -3 db, 50 watts would be -6 db, and so on.
Prove dbm plus dbm equals db?
The decibel scale is a logarithmic scale where each change in three dB represents a power factor change of two. (3 dB is power times two, 6 dB is power times four, 9 dB is power times 8, etc. Similarly, -3dB is power divided by two, -6 dB is power divided by four, etc.) Zero dB is assigned some arbitrary reference power. One example is 1 mV across 600 ohms. If you double the voltage into a constant resistance, the power quadruples, so 2 mV would be +6 dB, 4 mV would be +12 dB, etc. The letter after dB is the reference power. In the case of dBm, it means that 0 dB is 1 milliwatt, so 2 milliwatt is +3 dB, etc. There are many dB scales, such as dBa, used in sound measurements. Still, fundamentally, 3 dB is a doubling of power, -3 dB is a halving of power, so, for any arbitrary scale, say dBq, then saying +6dBq is saying a power four times higher than 0 dBq. In the end, dBm plus dBm is delta dB, with no scale.
How loud is 60 db?
60 dB sound pressure level is about conversational speech listened in 1 meter distance.
What connector is used in RS-232 transmissions?
DB-25 D-Sub-9 or D-Sub-25
Threshold of human in db?
The threshold of hearing is 0 dB. The threshold of pain = 137.5 dB.
How much dB you can hear by your ears?
You can start to hear at the threshold of hearing at 0 dB and end up at the threshold of pain at 137.5 dB.
What decibel range can a human hear in?
We can hear from 0 dB, that is the threshold of hearing up to 130 dB that is the threshold of pain.
How many decibels are in your pain threshold?
That depends on the listening person. 120 dB will bring you pain.
What SPL is the threshold of pain?
130 dB is an SPL commonly considered to be the threshold of pain. Between 120 and 140. http://ccrma-www.stanford.edu/~jos/st/DB_SPL.html
Does loudness hurt?
It depends on how loud it is. In hearing, the threshold of pain is the sound pressure or sound pressure level beyond which sound becomes unbearable for a human listener. This threshold varies only slightly with frequency. Different values for the threshold of pain are found in the literature: Here are some sound pressure levels SPL in dB and the sound pressure in pascals of the sensed possible threshold of pain: SPL 120 dB = 20 Pa SPL 130 dB = 63 Pa SPL 134 dB =100 Pa SPL 137.5 dB =150 Pa SPL 140 dB =200 Pa
What is the decibel rating of the least sound you can hear?
0 dB is the hearing threshold = 0,0002 microbar
What is the average sound level?
The usual soundlevel can be between 0 dB SPL = 20 µPa (threshold of hearing) up to 130 dB SPL (threshold of pain). An average sound level could be at 85 dB SPL. Scroll down to related links and look at "Average sound pressure levels".
What is the range of the threshold of human hearing and the threshold of pain?
It varies from person to person. However - an accepted 'normal' hearing range is around 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. The same goes for pain threshold - anything over 120 dB would certainly be uncomfortable for most people.
What decibels damage our hearing?
The sound pressure of the threshold of hearing is 20µPa as the reference value that is 0 dB. The threshold of pain depends on the listening person. You can find the following rounded limits in various articles (Sound pressure level Lp and Sound pressure p):120 dB = 20 Pa130 dB = 63 Pa134 dB = 100 Pa137.5 dB = 150 Pa140 dB = 200 Pa Cheers ebsWe can hear from the threshold of hearing at 0 dB up to the threshold of pain at around 130 dB.
What is the intensity of a sound at the pain level of 120dB?
If you think the threshold of pain is the sound intensity level of LI = 120 dB than you can convert that value to sound intensity I. 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 = 120 dB. Sound intensity I = Io×10^(LI/10) W/m² = 10^−12×10^(120/10) W/m² = 1 W/m².
Human ear is sensite to sound intensity ranging from db?
The human is is not sensitive to sound intensity (energy), but the human ear is sensitive to sound pressure or to sound pressure level (SPL). It is ranging from 20 micropascals to 150 pascals, that is a SPL of 0 dB (threshold of hearing) to 137.5 dB (threshold of pain). Scroll down to related links and look at "Table of Sound Levels and corresponding Sound Pressure".
