Lautstärkepegelskala
Lautstärkepegelskala refers to a logarithmic scale used to measure sound intensity or sound pressure. It is commonly known as the decibel scale. Because the human ear's perception of loudness is not linear, a logarithmic scale is employed to better represent how we experience sound levels. The scale is typically expressed in decibels (dB).
The reference point for the scale is usually the threshold of human hearing, which is approximately 0
A difference of 10 dB represents a tenfold increase in sound intensity. A 20 dB increase signifies
