What is the unit for measuring the volume of sound?
There are two: the bel, or more commonly, the decibel, which is a logrithmic representation of the pressure of a sound, and the phon, which is a measure of how loud a sound is perceived.
What type of scale is the decibel scale?
The decibel scale is a logarithmic scale. Scroll down to related links and look at "Decibel - Wikipedia" and "Sound level meter - Wikipedia".
What is the length of the rectangle if the perimeter is 60cm and is twice its width?
The length is 20cm and the width is 10cm P = 2l + 2w 60 = 2l + 2w 30 = l + w 30 = 2w + w 30 = 3w w = 10 30 = l + w 30 = l + 10 l = 20
What does the L in front of the serial number on a Winchester 94 30 30 mean?
It looks like an L, but, it is a one.
You multiply or dividing the decibels by the decibels?
There is no point in doing either one of these. A decibel, being the log of a ratio, is added to or subtracted from another decibel.
Is a decibel an orchestral instrument?
A Zymbal is a musical instrument.... Decibel is a unit of measurement for how loud its sound is :-)
What does the term decibel mean?
Decibel is a measure of sound and is logarithmic, meaning 50 decibels is twice as loud as 40 decibels.
What can be measured with a decibel meter?
A decibel meter is used to measure sound. It is a handheld device and can be used to quickly measure how loud certain sounds are. They are sometimes used to measure how loud a crowd is in sports.

What unit of measurement do you use to measure how loud a sound is?
Decibell
What is the unit of measure for loudness?
Decibels are the measure of how loud something is.
A sound that is perceived as twice as loud requires what?
A 10dB (decibel) increase makes a sound that is perceived to be twice as loud.
Why do you use logarithm to calculate gain of amplifiers?
Audio engineers talk about the "JND", which stands for "just notiecable difference", which is a 3 decibel gain. That 3 decibel gain requires a doubling of amplifier power. For an amp to sound, subjectively, "twice as loud" requires a tenfold increase in power (300 watts instead of 30 watts).The decibel scale is logarithmic, not arithmetic.
At what decibel level do sounds become very loud?
120 decibels is the sound of a jet engine, or the volume of loud rock music at a concert.
What tells how loud a sound is?
Sound is measured in Decibels. This is judged based on the human hearing. You can use a decibel meter to detect how loud a sound is.
How do you know how loud a sound is?
Sound is measured in Decibels. This is judged based on the human hearing. You can use a decibel meter to detect how loud a sound is.
How would you compare loud sounds from loud sounds?
Sound is measured in Decibels. This is judged based on the human hearing. You can use a decibel meter to detect just how loud a sound is.
