What is sound intensity ?
This may be defined as the rate of sound energy transmitted in aspecified direction per unit area normal to the direction. With goodhearing the range is from about 0.000000000001 Watt per square metreto about 1 Watt per square metre (12 orders of magnitude greater). Thesound intensity level is found from intensity I (W/m^2) by: Sound…

At what level does sound become unsafe ?
It is best, where possible, to avoid any unprotected exposureto sound pressure levels above 100dB(A). Use hearing protection whenexposed to levels above 85dB(A), especially if prolonged exposure isexpected. Damage to hearing from loud noise is cumulative and isirreversible. Exposure to high noise levels is also one of the maincauses of tinnitus. The safety aspects of…

How does the ear work ?
The eardrum is connected by three small jointed bones in the air-filledmiddle ear to the oval window of the inner ear or cochlea, a fluid-filled spiral coil about one and a half inches in length. Over 10,000hair cells on the basilar membrane along the cochlea convert minusculemovements to nerve impulses, which are transmitted by the…

How do sound levels add ?
If there are two sound sources in a room – for example a radioproducing an average sound level of 62.0 dB, and a television producinga sound level of 73.0 dB – then the total sound level is a logarithmicsum ie Combined sound level = 10 x lg ( 10^(62/10) + 10^(73/10) ) = 73.3 dB…

What does dB(A) or “A-weighted” mean ?
Noise was not of particular concern at the beginning of the century.The first electrical sound meter was reported by George W Pierce inProceedings of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, v 43 (1907-8)A couple of decades later the switch from horse-drawn vehicles toautomobiles in cities led to large changes in the background noiseclimate. The…
