Both, these two units measure different things.

  1. Hertz measures the frequency or pitch of the sound.
  2. Decibels measures the amplitude or loudness of the sound.

What is the measure of sound?

Sound is usually measured in Hertz.


Sound is measured in what types of unit?

Sound is measured in decibels, which are commonly shortened to "dBs".


What unit are sound waves measured in?

•Sound can be measured in many ways such as decibels. There is a special machine which you can by that measures how many decibels something makes. A pin makes 10 decibels where as a loud persons or a stereo can make up to 80 decibels. Volume is measured in decibels. So Frequency is measured in hertz


What are the units of measure for sound?

Sound is measured in dB ( Decibels) for intensity and or Hz ( Hertz) for frequency or pitch.


What is the unit of sound to measure?

How is sound measured?

Hertz for pitch (high or low) and decibels (dB) for volume (loudness).

Is sound intensity measured by a unit called Hertz?

No, sound intensity is measured in decibels (dB), not Hertz. Hertz is a unit of frequency, which measures how many cycles of a wave occur per second, whereas decibels measure the intensity or loudness of a sound.

Is it true that the loudness of different sounds is compared in units called hertz?

No.. hertz relates to the frequency (pitch). The volume of a sound is measured in decibels.


How loud is 200 Hertz?

200 Hertz is a measure of frequency, not loudness. The loudness of a sound is represented by its amplitude or intensity, typically measured in decibels.


Is it true that the loudness of different sounds compare in units called hertz?

No.. hertz relates to the frequency (pitch). The volume of a sound is measured in decibels.
