decibel level
How loud something
Decibel level is the intensity of sound measured in decibels, a logarithmic unit.
Higher decibel levels indicate louder sounds: a whisper registers around 30 decibels, conversation around 60, a rock concert over 100.
Prolonged exposure to high decibel levels causes hearing damage.
The decibel level in the factory required ear protection.
