What is the significance of measuring sound pressure level in decibels (dB) and how does it relate to assessing the intensity of sound?

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.
