A reduction of 20 dB corresponds to increasing the distance from the sourceby a factor of 10.So you have to back off to 150 meters in order to reduce the sound level to 60 dB.
The distance from which you can hear a sound at 70 decibels (dB) varies based on environmental factors such as background noise, terrain, and atmospheric conditions. In a quiet environment, a 70 dB sound, comparable to a vacuum cleaner or busy traffic, can typically be heard from about 100 to 300 feet away. However, in noisier environments, the effective hearing distance may be significantly reduced.
80 dB is equivalent to 108 times the threshold of hearing. Usually 10 decibel will be the virtual silence. 80 dB will be equivalent to door slamming.
20,000 Hz (20kHz) is the (ideal) highest FREQUENCY that a healthy human ear can hear. With regard to loud sounds, a sound LEVEL of 120 decibel (dB) causes pain, and a level of 140 dB causes deafness.
For many vehicles, the road contact noise will be larger than the noise from engine or exhaust. Even inside the vehicle, the noise level will vary from 70db or so for a noisy car, down to 40dB for a quality car. Outside the car, the sound level should not be greater than 80 dB at say 3m. It varies widely with type of engine, type of car, and speed.
its as loud as you talking at normal volume
A reduction of 20 dB corresponds to increasing the distance from the sourceby a factor of 10.So you have to back off to 150 meters in order to reduce the sound level to 60 dB.
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.
The distance from which you can hear a sound at 70 decibels (dB) varies based on environmental factors such as background noise, terrain, and atmospheric conditions. In a quiet environment, a 70 dB sound, comparable to a vacuum cleaner or busy traffic, can typically be heard from about 100 to 300 feet away. However, in noisier environments, the effective hearing distance may be significantly reduced.
80 dB is 10 times louder than 70 dB, and 70 dB is 10 times louder than 60 dB, and so on. Therefore, 80 dB is 1000 times louder than 40 dB.
80 dB is equivalent to 108 times the threshold of hearing. Usually 10 decibel will be the virtual silence. 80 dB will be equivalent to door slamming.
dB = 10 log(power-2/power-1) = 10 log(80) = 19.03 dB
The sound pressure level of a 100 dB siren is 100 times greater than that of an 80 dB alarm clock. Most people would perceive the 100 dB siren to be around twice as loud compared to the 80 dB alarm clock due to the logarithmic nature of the decibel scale and human perception of sound intensity.
The average human can hear sounds ranging from 0 dB (threshold of hearing) to around 120 dB (threshold of pain). However, the range of comfortable hearing is typically between 20-70 dB for most people.
80 db
measeured in desibel dB
We can hear from 0 dB, that is the threshold of hearing up to 130 dB that is the threshold of pain.
