Basics
Sound intensity is a phenomenon which can be explained logarithmically/mathematically.
- A 10 dB(A) jump in noise level is perceived by the human ear as a doubling of the noise level. Conversely a drop of 10 dB(A) is perceived as a halving of the noise level.
- Physically these changes in the perceived noise level already occur at an increase or decrease of 6 dB (A).
- This means that the actual physical load is higher than the one perceived.
