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.
