sound measurement
Acoustic level assessment
Sound measurement is the quantification of acoustic properties—loudness, frequency, duration, or intensity.
Decibels measure sound pressure level, while hertz measure frequency.
Sound measurement matters in audio engineering, noise regulation, and hearing protection: The sound measurement exceeded safe workplace limits.
Devices like sound level meters and spectrum analyzers capture these readings.
