∙ 13y agoNo. decibel (dB) is a logarithmic scale. Every time the decibels increase by 10 (10 more, not 10 times as much), the sound will get 10 times louder. For example, From 0 dB to 10 dB, or from -5 dB to +5 dB, or from 100 dB to 110 dB, will each increase the loudness by a factor of 10.

Normal speech measures 60 dB A busy street measures 70 dB How many times louder is the busy street than normal speech?
70 dB is 10 times louder than 60 dB.
How many times more intense is 108 dB than 100dB?
The power is 100.8 = 6.31 times as much.
How many times louder is 100 dB that 10 dB?
A 10 dB sound pressure level (SPL) is 0.000063 pascal and 100 dB is 2 pascal. Loudness is a problematic psycho acoustic feeling. I don't know what three times louder really means.
In what two ways does brian measure time?
He measures times by events his experiences rather than by societal measures time.
How much louder is 51 dba than 59 dba?
51dba is almost 3 times quieter than 59 dba.
How many times louder is a 20 decibel sound than a 0 decibel sound?
100 times louder. You will hardly hear a 20 db(SPL) sound at all.
Normal speech measures 60 dB A busy street measures 70 dB How many times louder is the busy street than normal speech?
70 dB is 10 times louder than 60 dB.
A sound that measures decibels is 1000 times louder than the threshold of hearing?
The threshold of hearing varies between individuals, but is commonly taken as 0dB. About one-half of the (undamaged, young, non noise-exposed, ... ...) people will have hearing better than the threshold, and the other half will hear worse than the threshold. But to the point, 10dB is 10 times, 20 dB is 100 times, and 30 dB is 1000 times.
A sound of 20 dB intensity is twice as loud as one of 10dB?
No, it is 10 times louder. dB is a logarithmic scale; every 10 dB, the intensity increases by a factor of 10. Thus, 10 dB is 10 times louder than 0 dB, 20 dB is 10 times louder than 10 dB, and 30 dB is 10 times louder than 20 dB.No, it is 10 times louder. dB is a logarithmic scale; every 10 dB, the intensity increases by a factor of 10.

Thus, 10 dB is 10 times louder than 0 dB, 20 dB is 10 times louder than 10 dB, and 30 dB is 10 times louder than 20 dB.
How does intensity of a 40 decibel sound compare to intensity if a 20 decibel sound?
The 40dB sound is (40 - 20) = 20 dB louder than the 20 dB sound.20 dB louder = 10(20/10) = 102 = 100 times louder
How many times more intense is 108 dB than 100dB?
The power is 100.8 = 6.31 times as much.
What sound does rifles?
Do you mean "What sound does a rifle make"? If you do, it makes a very loud "pop" similar to shooting a cap gun but about 1o times louder.
80 decibels is how many times louder than 60 decibels?
The sound pressure level of 80 dB is a 10 times higher measure than the sound pressure level of 60 dB. Louder ist not the correct word, because it belongs to psycho acoustics and tells the loudness feeling.
How many times louder is an 80 dB sound compared to a 40 dB sound?
1000 times louder. Every 10 decibel, the intensity increases by a factor of 10.1000 times louder. Every 10 decibel, the intensity increases by a factor of 10.1000 times louder. Every 10 decibel, the intensity increases by a factor of 10.1000 times louder. Every 10 decibel, the intensity increases by a factor of 10.
How do the amplitudes of a decibel sound a 100-decibels sound compare?
The power or intensity of the louder one is 10 billion times the power or intensity of the softer one. Since the power or intensity is typically proportional to the square of the wave amplitude, the amplitude of the louder one is a mere 100,000 times the amplitude of the softer one.
How do the amplitudes of a decibel sound and a 100-decibel sound compare?
The power or intensity of the louder one is 10 billion times the power or intensity of the softer one. Since the power or intensity is typically proportional to the square of the wave amplitude, the amplitude of the louder one is a mere 100,000 times the amplitude of the softer one.
How much louder is a sound wave that has an intensity of 50 dB than a sound wave with an intensity of 20 dB?
The power in the wave is [ 30 dB = 1,000 times ] greater.
