That would be the decibel (dB), which is a measurement of how loud something is.

Edit: to be more precise, this is what a decibel is from wikipedia.
The decibel (dB) is a logarithmic unit that indicates the ratio of a physical quantity (usually power or intensity) relative to a specified or implied reference level.

The decibel is commonly used in acoustics to quantify sound levels relative to a 0 dB reference which has been defined as a sound pressure level of .0002 microbar.
