2. Sound energy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_energy

   In physics, sound energy is a form of energy that can be heard by living things. Only those waves that have a frequency of 16 Hz to 20 kHz are audible to humans. However, this range is an average and will slightly change from individual to individual.

3. Sound pressure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_pressure

   While 1 atm (194 dB peak or 191 dB SPL) [11] [12] is the largest pressure variation an undistorted sound wave can have in Earth's atmosphere (i. e., if the thermodynamic properties of the air are disregarded; in reality, the sound waves become progressively non-linear starting over 150 dB), larger sound waves can be present in other atmospheres ...

4. Sound level meter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_level_meter

   A sound level meter (also called sound pressure level meter (SPL)) is used for acoustic measurements. It is commonly a hand-held instrument with a microphone . The best type of microphone for sound level meters is the condenser microphone, which combines precision with stability and reliability. [ 1 ]

6. Sound intensity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_intensity

   The SI unit of intensity, which includes sound intensity, is the watt per square meter (W/m 2). One application is the noise measurement of sound intensity in the air at a listener's location as a sound energy quantity. [3] Sound intensity is not the same physical quantity as sound pressure. Human hearing is sensitive to sound pressure which is ...

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.
