Sound pressure level is important in measuring noise pollution because it quantifies the intensity of sound waves in the environment. It helps us understand how loud and potentially harmful the noise is to human health and the environment. By measuring sound pressure level, we can assess the impact of noise pollution and take steps to mitigate its effects.
Measuring sound pressure level in decibels (dB) is significant because it provides a standardized way to quantify and compare the intensity of sound. Decibels allow us to assess how loud a sound is relative to the threshold of human hearing and to determine potential risks to hearing health. The higher the decibel level, the more intense the sound, and the greater the potential impact on our ears.
Sound power level refers to the total amount of sound energy produced by a source, measured in watts. Sound pressure level, on the other hand, measures the intensity of sound waves at a specific point, typically in decibels. In the context of measuring sound intensity, sound power level is the source of the sound, while sound pressure level is the measurement of how loud the sound is at a particular location. The two are related in that sound power level influences sound pressure level, but they are distinct measurements that provide different information about the sound being produced.
Sound pressure level measures the intensity of sound at a specific point, while sound power level measures the total sound energy produced by a source. Sound pressure level is a measure of how loud a sound is perceived, while sound power level is a measure of the total energy output of a sound source. In terms of measuring sound intensity, sound pressure level is often used to determine the impact of sound on a specific location, while sound power level is used to quantify the overall output of a sound source.
The term for measuring pressure without considering the current atmospheric pressure is called gauge pressure.
Loudness N is measured in in sones.Loudness Level NL is measured in phons.Sound pressure level is measured in dBSPL, where the reference level of 0 dBSPL is the threshold of hearing.The ear drums and the microphones are only sensitve to the sound pressure. We measure the sound pressure with a sound level meter.Loudness is affected by sound pressure, frequency and its bandwidth, and duration (time).Usually sound is measured in Decibels.
You take a measuring microphone with a sound pressure level meter.

False. Decibel is a unit of measurement used to express the intensity of sound, not pollution. It measures the level of sound pressure. Pollution is typically measured in terms of air quality indices, concentration of pollutants, or other specific measurements depending on the type of pollution being measured.
There is no single instrument as there are different types of natural disasters with different things that can be measured. Anemometers, barometers, and rain gauges can measure wind, pressure and rainfall in storms. A seismometer can measure the intensity of a earthquake.
There are many tools used in measuring meteorological changes. The most useful tool depends on which factors are measured. A light meter or photometer measures light intensity while a barometer measures atmospheric pressure.
The instrument used for measuring pressure is called a manometer.

The word loudness belongs to psycho acoustics and tells how we feel this sound, that is not measuring the sound like we do with a sound pressure meter. Listening to music means motion to the ear drums. Only sound pressure moves the ear drums. The energy or the sound intensity is much less important here. Sound intensity belongs more to the noise fighters.

Millibars (mb) is a measure of the pressure (or weight) of the air usually taken as close to the core of the hurricane as possible. As a general rule, the lower the pressure, the higher the winds.
Another name for unit pressure is pressure intensity.
