The weighting filter A takes off low frequencies. So the measured value in dBA must be less than in dB.

Look up at "A-weighting - Wikipedia".

How strong is sound?

Sound strength is measured in decibels (dB), with a normal conversation around 60 dB, a rock concert around 120 dB, and a jet engine around 140 dB. Prolonged exposure to sounds over 85 dB can damage hearing.


When does the level of sound become bad for hearing?

85 dB is bad for extended periods (8 hours). 100+dB is bad nearly instantly.


Short term exposure to noises at 85 decibels or higher can cause what?

You can damage your hearing. It depends also on time. "Permitted Noise Exposure Time Guidelines - SPL" Sound pressure level Lp and permissible exposure time t: 115 dB = 0.46875 minutes (~30 sec) 112 dB = 0.9375 minutes (~1 min) 109 dB = 1.875 minutes (< 2 min) 106 dB = 3.75 minutes (< 4 min) 103 dB = 7.5 minutes 100 dB = 15 minutes 97 dB = 30 minutes 94 dB = 1 hour 91 dB = 2 hours 88 dB = 4 hours 85 dB = 8 hours 82 dB = 16 hours Lower dBs are said to be harmless


How do you explain noise greater then 85-90 decibels can cause loss of hearing?

That tells it all: "Permitted Noise Exposure Time Guidelines - SPL" Sound pressure level Lp and permissible exposure time t: 115 dB = 0.46875 minutes (~30 sec) 112 dB = 0.9375 minutes (~1 min) 109 dB = 1.875 minutes (< 2 min) 106 dB = 3.75 minutes (< 4 min) 103 dB = 7.5 minutes 100 dB = 15 minutes 97 dB = 30 minutes 94 dB = 1 hour 91 dB = 2 hours 88 dB = 4 hours 85 dB = 8 hours 82 dB = 16 hours Lower dBs are said to be harmless.


What are the average dB levels typically recorded in a busy urban environment?

In a busy urban environment, average dB levels typically range from 70 to 85 decibels.


Db is the unit of sound level please tell you full form of the same?

Db stands for "decibels".


What is the enharmic of Db is?

The enharmonic equivalent of Db is C#. Both notes have the same pitch but are spelled differently.


What intensity in dB does noise start to become painful?

It depends on the sort of noise. If you like that music you can bear it louder. 120 dB is mostly painful. Don't forget that your ear drums are moved by the sound pressure and not by the sound intensity.


What sound decibels are harmful?

The sound pressure or its level can be harmful if it is moving too much your eardrums. "Permitted Exposure Time Guidelines - SPL" Sound pressure level Lp and permissible exposure time t: 115 dB = 0.46875 minutes (~30 sec) 112 dB = 0.9375 minutes (~1 min) 109 dB = 1.875 minutes (< 2 min) 106 dB = 3.75 minutes (< 4 min) 103 dB = 7.5 minutes 100 dB = 15 minutes 97 dB = 30 minutes 94 dB = 1 hour 91 dB = 2 hours 88 dB = 4 hours 85 dB = 8 hours 82 dB = 16 hours Lower dBs are said to be harmless.


Is the key of Db and d major the same?

No, Db has 5 flats whilst D major has 2 Sharps.


What The enharmonic of Db is .?

The enharmonic of Db is: C#


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.
