How many decibels?
in what
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 the equation for decibels solved for intensity?
10log10 (p1 /p0 ) where the pi are power values.
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.
What is the symbol for decibels?
The usual symbol for decibels is dB.
