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.

60% of 188= 60% * 188= 0.6 * 188= 112.8
The decibel scale is a logarithmic scale. Scroll down to related links and look at "Decibel - Wikipedia" and "Sound level meter - Wikipedia".

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.
A Zymbal is a musical instrument.... Decibel is a unit of measurement for how loud its sound is :-)
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.

Decibels are the measure of how loud something is.
120 decibels is the sound of a jet engine, or the volume of loud rock music at a concert.
'decibel' means power level compared to something else. +36 dB = 3,981 times as much power as whatever it's compared to.

All I can think of that you might be asking is what is it measured in, and that would be the unit of the decibel (dB)
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.
The word 'loud' is not a noun, it is an adjective used to describe a noun as a sound that is strong or intense; a vulgarly obtrusive or flashy appearance.The noun form for the adjective loud is loudness, a concrete noun; a word for the decibel level of sound, a physical characteristic.
