Never forget to tell the distance of the measuring microphone (at the place of your ear), from the the sound source because the closer you are to the sound source the louder it will be.
The sound pressure level decreases by 6 decibels per doubling of distance from the source to 1/2 (50 %) of the sound pressure initial value.
The sound pressure decreases inversely as the distance increases with 1/r from the sound source.

How does decibels work?
To calculate the number of decibels that power-level-'A' is greater than power-level-'B',-- Divide 'A' by 'B'-- Take the 'log' of the quotient-- Multiply the 'log' by 10 .If the result is negative, then 'A' is that many decibels lower than 'B'.
What is the normal decibel of a human voice?
The decibel level for standard human voices is around 60 decibels, which is also the level for singing birds. Hearing loss occurs at around 110 decibels with painful hearing loss occurring at 130 decibels.
