2. Sound intensity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_intensity

   I 0 is the reference sound intensity; 1 Np = 1 is the neper; 1 B = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ ln(10) is the bel; 1 dB = ⁠ 1 / 20 ⁠ ln(10) is the decibel. The commonly used reference sound intensity in air is [5] = /. being approximately the lowest sound intensity hearable by an undamaged human ear under room conditions.

3. Sound reduction index - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_Reduction_Index

   The Sound Reduction Index is expressed in decibels (dB). It is the weighted sound reduction index for a partition or single component only. This is a laboratory-only measurement, which uses knowledge of the relative sizes of the rooms in the test suite, and the reverberation time in the receiving room, and the known level of noise which can pass between the rooms in the suite by other routes ...

4. Decibel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decibel

   The decibel originates from methods used to quantify signal loss in telegraph and telephone circuits. Until the mid-1920s, the unit for loss was miles of standard cable (MSC). 1 MSC corresponded to the loss of power over one mile (approximately 1.6 km) of standard telephone cable at a frequency of 5000 radians per second (795.8 Hz), and matched closely the smallest attenuation detectable to a ...

5. Sound exposure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_exposure

   Sound exposure level (SEL) is a logarithmic measure of the sound exposure of a sound relative to a reference value. Sound exposure level, denoted L E and measured in dB , is defined by [ 1 ]

6. Sound transmission class - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_transmission_class

   The STC or sound transmission class is a single number method of rating how well wall partitions reduce sound transmission. [3] The STC provides a standardized way to compare products such as doors and windows made by competing manufacturers. A higher number indicates more effective sound insulation than a lower number.

7. A-weighting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-weighting

   A graph of the A-, B-, C- and D-weightings across the frequency range 10 Hz – 20 kHz Video illustrating A-weighting by analyzing a sine sweep (contains audio). A-weighting is a form of frequency weighting and the most commonly used of a family of curves defined in the International standard IEC 61672:2003 and various national standards relating to the measurement of sound pressure level.
