40 dB gain change should give about the ratio of 16 for sensed volume and loudness,
40 dB gain change gives the ratio of 100 for measured voltage and sound pressure and
40 dB gain change gives the ratio of 1000 for calculated sound power and acoustic intensity.
Go to the link: Subjectively perceived loudness (volume), objectively measured sound pressure (voltage), and theoretically calculated sound intensity (acoustic power).
More decibels means a louder sound. 70 decibels is 10 times as loud as 60 decibels; 60 decibels is 10 times as loud as 50 decibels, etc. (That's called a logarithmic scale.)
80 decibels delivers 100 times more power than 60 decibels.
That depends how close you measure to the beak of the bird. The closer - the louder! The distance is very important if you measure with a sound pressure level meter.
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.
A drum kit is no decibels. The decibels depends how close you measure to the bat. The closer - the louder! And the louder you play the more decibels you get. The distance is very important if you measure with a sound pressure level meter.
Go through the chart at the link below. Scan the whole chart; some levels are described more than once. Normal conversation is about 60 decibels, and ordinary piano practice is between 60 and 70 decibels.
130 decibels -140 decibels close up maybe louder though
Why not. Go closer to the chimes and you will measure more decibels. The closer the louder.
It's 10 times louder. It is easily looked up.. Example of source: http://www.howstuffworks.com/question124.htm
70 dB is 10 times louder than 60 dB.
That depends how close you measure to the mouth speaker. The closer - the louder! The distance is very important if you measure with a sound pressure level meter. A conversation in 1 meter distance may have 60 decibels.
70-100 decibels
That depends how close you measure to the speaker. The closer - the louder! The distance is very important if you measure with a sound pressure level meter. In 1 meter distance the sound pressure level is arround 60 decibels SPL.
An average rooster's crow is approximately 90 decibels. This is about as loud as a dog barking. Chickens themselves average 60-70 decibels, which is on par with human conversation.
