120 decibels is extremely loud, equivalent to a rock concert or a chainsaw. Sound waves at this level can travel a fair distance, potentially up to a few miles depending on the surrounding environment and obstacles.
Decibels measure loudness by quantifying the intensity of sound waves. The higher the decibel level, the louder the sound.
Hue refers to the color of light waves, while decibels measure the amplitude or loudness of sound waves. Wavelength is a characteristic of both light and sound waves, representing the distance between two consecutive points of a wave that are in phase.
Volume is a subjective measure of how loud a sound is perceived by an individual, while decibels (dB) are a unit used to objectively measure sound intensity. Decibels are a logarithmic scale that quantifies the intensity of sound waves, with an increase in decibels corresponding to an exponential increase in sound intensity. Therefore, as the volume of a sound increases, so does the number of decibels measured.
Sound waves travel through a medium, such as air, water, or solids. In air, sound waves create vibrations that travel through molecules in the form of pressure waves. These waves carry the sound energy and allow the sound to be heard by our ears.
Sound waves that travel to the ear for hearing are longitudinal waves.

The unit of sound measurement used to quantify the intensity of sound waves is decibels (dB).
They are called sound waves. Their name does not change just because they travel in water.
The term decibel is a unit of measurement of the loudness of sound. It has nothing to do with light, which is measured in lumens.
Waves; sound waves.

sound waves can't travel in a vacuum (space)
Sound waves require a medium to travel through, and, since space is a vacuum, sound waves can't travel in it.
Sound waves cannot travel through vaccum.

Sound travels in longitudinal waves.
