What is the lowest decibel sound that can be recorded?

The lowest decibel sound that can be recorded depends on the sensitivity of the recording equipment. Generally, human hearing can detect sounds as low as 0 decibels, but specialized equipment can record even quieter sounds below 0 decibels.


What is the lowest pitch on the musical scale that can be heard with the human ear?

The lowest pitch on the musical scale that can be heard with the human ear is about 20 Hz. This frequency is below the range of what is considered audible to humans and is often felt more than heard. Generally the range of human hearing is from 20 Hz to 20000 Hz. Below 20 Hz vibrations can still be felt but are not audible to the human ear.


How do you tell the difference between loud and quiet sounds?

Loud sounds are high in volume and can often be heard from far away, while quiet sounds are low in volume and may only be heard at close range. You can use a decibel meter to measure the sound levels and determine if they are loud or quiet.


What is the audible sound?

A sound that can be heard in ordinary human ear is audible sound. It is approximately between 20 to 2000 decibel in strength.sound which is audible.. I.e. sound you can hear, as opposed to sound beyond human hearing at very low or very high frequencies.sound that is capable of being heard; sound loud enough to be heard; sound that is actually heard.


What is the relationship between sound intensity and the logarithmic decibel scale?

The relationship between sound intensity and the logarithmic decibel scale is that the decibel scale measures sound intensity levels in a way that reflects the human perception of sound. Sound intensity increases exponentially on the decibel scale, with each 10 decibel increase representing a tenfold increase in sound intensity.

What unit sound is measured in?

Decibel (dB) * The Bel is the primary unit. However, the scale is too large. So for human hearing, we use the deciBel, where each deciBel is 1/10 of a Bel. this is abbreviated dB.

What is the noise or decibel level of crowing rooster?

A crowing rooster can have a crow that is upwards of a decibel level of 70. This can be comparable to the decimal level of a raised human voice.

What is the lowest frequency sound that is detectable by the human ear?

The lowest frequency sound that is detectable by the human ear is typically around 20-30 Hz. Below this range, the sound waves are often felt as vibrations rather than heard as distinct pitches.
