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.
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.
There are several types of dB. dB SPL are decibels measuring sound pressure levels. There is an accepted reference point of 0 dB SPL which equals 20 micropascals = 2 × 10-5 pascals. dB SL are decibels measuring a signal relative to an individuals auditory threshold. For example, if a person's minimum threshold is 30 dB HL (yet another type of decibel measuring how much worse a person's hearing is based on a referential dB level) and a signal is at 40 dB HL, the sensation level of this signal to this individual is 10 db SL (40 dB - 30 dB = 10 dB SL).
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.
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.

We can hear from 0 dB, that is the threshold of hearing up to 130 dB that is the threshold of pain.
Ultrasonic sound refers to sound waves with frequencies above the human hearing range, typically above 20 kHz. The decibel (dB) level of ultrasonic sound can vary significantly depending on the source, but it is often measured in the range of 80 dB to over 120 dB. However, since humans cannot hear ultrasonic frequencies, their impact is typically evaluated in terms of their effects on materials or biological systems rather than their perceived loudness.
