What unit are sound waves measured in?

•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


What is 140 decibels equivelent to?

140 decibels is equivalent to the sound level of a jet engine at takeoff or a gunshot at close range. It is considered extremely loud and can cause immediate hearing damage or pain to unprotected ears. For context, normal conversation is about 60 decibels, while sounds above 85 decibels can be harmful over prolonged exposure.


I have 15 subwoofers at 180 decibels each how loud would that be in db in case your wondering yes there is a woofer that reaches 180db its called dd 9918Z 18?

15 subwoofers would produce 15 times as much power. log1015 = 1.176; to convert that to decibels, you have to multiply it by 10, so you get an increase of 11.76 decibels, in other words, 180 + 11.76 = 191.76 decibels. Since the 180 decibels probably includes some rounding, it makes sense to round the final result, too - for example, to 192 decibels.


How loud is 74 decibels 23 feet?

At a distance of 23 feet, a sound measured at 74 decibels would be noticeably loud but not overwhelming. Generally, sounds around this level can be compared to heavy traffic noise or a vacuum cleaner. The intensity of the sound decreases with distance, so it may feel less intrusive at 23 feet than when directly next to the source. However, it remains in a range that could still be disruptive in quiet environments.


What is the symbol for decibels?

The usual symbol for decibels is dB.
