Generation

Sound pressure level (SPL) is a measurement of how loud a sound is, expressed in decibels (dB). It compares the actual pressure variations created by sound waves in the air to a reference pressure (the quietest sound a healthy human ear can typically hear). The decibel scale is logarithmic, meaning that an increase of 10 dB represents a sound that's 10 times more intense in terms of power—so a normal conversation at 60 dB is vastly quieter than a rock concert at 110 dB. SPL helps us quantify sound intensity in a way that relates to how our ears perceive loudness.
