You can convert the loudness in sones to the loudness level in phons.

8.5 sones equals 70.9 phons.

The convertion from sone to dB is only a guess.

What is the loudness in sones for 4000 Hz at 90 dB?

The loudness level at 90 dB for a 4000 Hz tone is 7 sones. Sones are a unit of perceived loudness.


How do you convert 65dBA to sones?

You can convert the loudness in sones to the loudness level in phons. To convert the sound pressure level in dB or dBA to loudness in sones is not possible. Scroll down to related links and read "Correlation between sones und phons".


How loud is 1.5 sones?

The higher the sones the louder the sound. For example bathroom ceiling fans usually are within 1 to 5 sones. I would say somewhere in between would suffice. Another example of how loud sones are is your refrigerator they usually range between 1 to 2 sones.


What are sones?

Sones are a unit of perceived loudness developed by Stanley Smith Stevens in 1936. In acoustics, loudness is the subjective perception of sound pressure. According to Stevens' definition, the sone is equivalent to 40 phons, which is defined as the loudness level NL of a 1 kHz tone at 40 dB SPL. The number of sones to a phon was chosen so that a doubling of the number of sones sounds to the human ear like a doubling of the loudness, which also corresponds to increasing the sound pressure level by 10 dB.


Is 85 dB A the same as 85 dB?

Yes, 85 dB A and 85 dB measure sound in the same unit, decibels (dB). However, the "A" designation signifies that the sound measurements have been weighted according to the A-weighting filter, which takes into account how the human ear perceives different frequencies.

How do you convert sone to decibel?

To convert sone to decibel, you can use the formula: Decibels (dB) = 40 log(sone) For example, if the loudness level is 4 sones, the equivalent decibel level would be 40 log(4) ≈ 60 dB.

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.


What is louder 2.5 sones or 4.0 sones?
