Is the sound 30db 30 times greater than the threashold of hearing or 103 times greater?

The way the scale is defined, 30 db is 103 times more intense than 0 db. You can calculate this by considering that every 10 dB, the intensity increases by a factor of 10. Multiplying three times by 10 (10 x 10 x 10) is the same as multiplying by a thousand.

How much greater than 10 is 1000?
100 times greater.
How many times in 1000 greater than 10?
100 times greater.
How many times greater is the place of the next digit too its right?
It is 'base' times greater, that is 10 times greater if you are looking at a decimal number. Two times greater if you are looking at a binary number. Etc etc
How many times greater is the 2 in the number 327 greater than the 2 in the number 432?
It is 10 times greater.
How many times greater is a square decameter than a square centimeter is the answer 1000000000 times greater b 10000 times greater c 1000 times greater or d 100000 times greater?
100 centimeters = 1 meter 10 meters = 1 decameter 1000 (100 x 10) centimeters = 1 decameter So, a decameter is 1000 times greater than a centimeter.
A high frequency sound will be heard as?
If the high frequency sound is within hearing range, you can hear it as a high-pitched sound. If it's out of the hearing range you can't hear it, of course.
Do you get hearing problems from the sound grenade?
Hearing problems from a Sound Grenade are TEMPORARY; however if someone were to be REPEATEDLY exposed to Sound Grenades (many times), they would MOST LIKELY have PERMANENT HEARING PROBLEMS.
Compare to the threshold of hearing a sound level of 30 decibels is?
1000 times more intense.
What are supersonic speeds?
Supersonic speed is a rate of travel of an object that exceeds the speed of sound. At the beginning of 20th century, the term supersonic was used as an adjective to describe sound whose frequency is above the range of normal human hearing. Speeds greater than five times the speed of sound are often referred to as hypersonic.
Is intensity directly proportional to loudness?
No - since sound (hearing) operates on a logarithmic scale. So to be twice as loud a sound must be 10 times as "intense".
A sound that measures decibels is 1000 times louder than the threshold of hearing?
The threshold of hearing varies between individuals, but is commonly taken as 0dB. About one-half of the (undamaged, young, non noise-exposed, ... ...) people will have hearing better than the threshold, and the other half will hear worse than the threshold. But to the point, 10dB is 10 times, 20 dB is 100 times, and 30 dB is 1000 times.
If the energy carried by a sound wave is multiplied by a thousand times bywhat factor does the intensity of the sound wave increase?
The factor does the intensity of the sound waves increase because the intensity of sound waves is related to the amplitude. Sound with a greater amplitude also has a greater intensity.
How much louder is a sound wave that has an intensity of 50 dB than a sound wave with an intensity of 20 dB?
The power in the wave is [ 30 dB = 1,000 times ] greater.
A noisy class room has a sound level of 80 dB what is the intensity of sound?
80 dB is equivalent to 108 times the threshold of hearing. Usually 10 decibel will be the virtual silence. 80 dB will be equivalent to door slamming.
Circumference is how many times greater than radius?
2 pi times greater-- roughly 6.28 times greater.
How much greater than 10 is 1000?
100 times greater.
When a sound intensity increases by factor of 10 it's decibel reading increases by blank?
