Many kinds of instruments measure signals in decibels (dB). Since dB represents nothing more than a log ratio of two quantities, anything that can be quantized could be measured in dB. The most common things measured that way, however, are: * Sound Levels (an SPL Meter)
* Electrical power levels (a Network Analyser, a Spectrum Analyser, Power Meters)
* Light levels (an Optical Spectrum analyser or Power Meter). Note that dB is always a relative term, however figures are often quoted with respect to some reference such as 'dB(SPL)" used for sound where the reference is the quietest sound a human can hear, or dBm for electrical power where the reference is 1 mW.
An SPLOIUYTR machine measures decibels.
•Sound can be measured in many ways such as decibels. There is a special machine which you can by that measures how many decibels something makes. A pin makes 10 decibels where as a loud persons or a stereo can make up to 80 decibels. Volume is measured in decibels. So Frequency is measured in hertz

Aome machines claim to spin at 74 decibels. Is that loud?
how loud is a washing machine in decibels when spinning
The scream of a jet engine taking of measures 113 decibels. the scream of a frightened pig can measure 115 decibels.
A jet enjine at take-off measures 113 decibels, while a surprised pig can squeal at 115 decibels.
About 132 dB(A)
Hertz (cycles/second) measures frequency or pitch. Decibels measures loudness or sound pressure.
