db is decibel and in communication it is the amplifying factor where in audio it is the volume of the sound
durabond
If you want to express large numbers of ratios with small values you will like the decibel. 1000 volts means 60 dB. The reference 0 dB = 1 volt. 0.001 volt means -60 dB.
db stands for Decibel and it means a unit used to compare the loudness of different sounds :D
dB (decibel) is a logarithmic measure of the ratio of two power values, for example, two signal strengths. This is often used for power gain or power loss. For example, a loss of 10 dB means that the signal degrades by a factor of 10, a loss of 20 dB means that the signal degrades by a factor of 100, and a loss of 30 dB means that the signal degrades by a factor of 1000.
The German abbreviation DB stands for Deutsche Bahn, German Railways.
10 dB gain means a voltage ratio of 3.16227766 to 1.
Dw. db means weighted amount variance between rooms in acoustics. db is actually short for decibel, the unit for sound.
Database
14 dB means a factor of 5.012. So 14 dB more is 10 times 5.012 = 50.12 volts (RMS).
means of communication
A 10 dB sound pressure level (SPL) is 0.000063 pascal and 100 dB is 2 pascal. Loudness is a problematic psycho acoustic feeling. I don't know what three times louder really means.
dB expresses the ratio of two powers.Negative dB doesn't mean negative power.It means a negative ratio . . . less power compared to more power,or the power decreased.
