  2. Sound intensity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_intensity

    I is the 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 [3] = /. being approximately the lowest sound intensity hearable by an undamaged human ear under room conditions.

  5. Absolute threshold of hearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_threshold_of_hearing

    Temporal summation is the relationship between stimulus duration and intensity when the presentation time is less than 1 second. Auditory sensitivity changes when the duration of a sound becomes less than 1 second. The threshold intensity decreases by about 10 dB when the duration of a tone burst is increased from 20 to 200 ms.

  7. Acoustic wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_wave

    An acoustic wave is a mechanical wave that transmits energy through the movements of atoms and molecules. Acoustic waves transmit through fluids in a longitudinal manner (movement of particles are parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave); in contrast to electromagnetic waves that transmit in transverse manner (movement of particles at a right angle to the direction of propagation ...

  9. Loudness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness

    Loudness, a subjective measure, is often confused with physical measures of sound strength such as sound pressure, sound pressure level (in decibels), sound intensity or sound power. Weighting filters such as A-weighting and LKFS attempt to compensate measurements to correspond to loudness as perceived by the typical human.
